Again a stunning colt foal from Gineta and again early by two weeks, he is a big strong boy with a lot of bone and a good compact body. 

Galiano’s Sire Arentino was competed in Prix St. George dressage and did also really well in show jumping. Arentino’s Sire Santiago by Wie Ibikus and out of the foundation mare Schwalbelied was Champion of his grading in 1980 and was a very substantial big framed grandson of the legendary stallion Ibikus, which went on to become a very good show jumper. Wie Ibikus himself produced a big number of high successful dressage horses competing up to Grand Prix. Santiago produced some outstanding broodmares and the value can be seen in his offspring’s competition results. 

Arentino’s Dam E.St Arktis II presents herself as one of the valuable broodmares of the Trakehner breed, being a full sister to the stallion Arogno, sire of the stallions Schwadroneur (now dead) and Anky’s stallion Partout. Arktis’s offspring are doing well in 3-day eventing and dressage competing in Prix St. Georges. 

Galiano’s Dam Holme Grove Gineta was Champion young stock and Reserve Supreme Champion as a yearling. Her Dam Genesis is a premium mare and was champion and Supreme Champion mare of the Trakehner show 2003. She has bred a lot of lovely horses doing very well showing in hand at the TBF show. 

Galiano is a super colt, which should with all this lovely dressage blood go and do well in dressage, however with his sister and brother doing so well in jumping he should also be an excellent choice for eventing or show jumping.
