Diamante III - Absolutely stunning 16.1 dark bay 2014 Warmblood mare. Cleo is bred in the purple with her bloodlines littered with 1.60 showjumpers.
Her sire, Diarado needs no introduction, not only does he have a successful career and multiple WFFSH-stallion rankings in both showjumping and eventing, he has produced more than ninety approved stallions, thirty-six 1.60m show jumpers, ninety 1.50m show jumpers and several CCI5* eventing horses, which have catapulted Diarado to eleventh place on the WBFSH ranking of the world's best show jumping sires and even to first place of the world's best eventing stallions.
There are only 2 stallions in the world who were both in the Top 10 in 2020, that is Diarado and his father Diamant de Semilly.
Diamant de Semillys career in jumping and as a sire has made him truly sought after worldwide. His offspring have proven to be natural born winners which earnt him the title of best jumping sire of winners in France. He is currently ranks number 3 in the World Breeding Rankings of Showjumping.
On the dam side Cleo is by 1.60 jumper Caretano Z who as a young horse was a tremendous talent which was spotted as an excellent talent for the future at an early age with excellent results in age classes as a 5 year old and 6 year old. As a 7 year old, he won the world young horse championships in Lanaken and went on to further success winning internationally. His sire Caretino (Caletto II)is considered one of the best sires in Holstein breeding. On his dam's side Caretano Z carries highly reputable and the finest of Holstein bloodlines.
Cleo, like her top bloodlines, has incredible scope with a powerful engine. She is incredibly neat over a fence being quick and careful. She loves to win. She has over £1700 winnings up to 1.30m, highlights include winning the winter novice championship qualifier to then have a top 3 finish in the final in the Hickstead main ring. She is a lovely willing horse with beautiful flatwork and paces. She has a lovely temperament, is very easy to do in all ways and very affectionate.
We decided to utilise Cleo’s bloodlines to improve our string of showjumpers by breeding our own. She produced us an incredible filly by Shane Breen’s top 1.60 jumper Colmar in 2024, who oozes so much quality and talent already, we turned down an offer from one of the UKs top studs when she was a few months old. Cleo took first time and had a straightforward pregnancy and birth and has been a fabulous mother, we couldn’t have asked for more.
Unfortunately we are in a position where we need to reduce our numbers and sadly that means cleo needs to find a new home. She’d be an asset to anyone’s breeding programme due to her incredible bloodlines and her own successful career so far or as she has no health issues she can be a fantastic project for someone on a budget looking to go up the levels and win.
Cleo is up to date with dentist, farrier and vaccinations. Incredibly sad sale of our much loved girl.
