Een dochter van Nelke vh Waterschoot!

Caipirinha van het Waterschoot Z’s sire is Calvaro (Holstein family 8813). In 1997 Calvaro became Dutch showjumping champion in partnership with Jos Lansink. Calvaro was a great performer on the international showjumping circuit. He participated at the Olympic Games (Sydney, 2000), European championships (Mannheim (1997) and Hickstead (1999)), World Equestrian Games (Rome, 1998) and the World Cup final in Göteborg (1999). Calvaro also collected many victories and honourable placings in challenging tournaments (for instance in Aachen, Calgary and London). Many descendants of Calvaro followed or are following in his hoofprints, such as Phirst du Chai, Calavda Z, Boyfriend du Seigneur, Cabriolet Z, Callas Sitte Z, Stardust Quinhon and Katchina Mail.

Caipirinha is a veritable cocktail with top ingredients. Via her dam line she has the performance blood of Nelke van het Waterschoot. Simba, Nelke’s grandmother, is the foundation dam of BWP performance line 18. Nelke made a career in the showjumping world, in the beginning partnered with Stefaan De Smet and afterwards with Gudrun Patteet. Nelke also seemed to be very valuable in the breeding world. She produced for instance Shindler de Muze (who was approved as a stallion) and Paris van het Waterschoot Z (ex-aequo winner of the cycle for four-year-old showjumping horses. Paris is also the dam of the international showjumper Glasgow de Muze (Fabio Crotta). Moreover, Nelke is the grandmother of several approved stallions, such as Carpe Diem VH Waterschoot Z, Jericho van de Maltahoeve, Jule de Lauzelle and Le Coultre de Muze. Partnered with Tim Stockdale, Parcival VH Waterschoot, a full brother to Nelke, played a leading role on the international showjumping scene.
