Pedigree information
Ramon is out of the strong moving Irodi, a daughter of the Landgraf I son, Landino. Ramon has much quality. He has good jumping manners and a surplus of scope.
Out of the prestatie line of the mare Karta (s Millerole xx) and G Ramiro-Z comes the Nurzeus son Marlon who had a positive debut in the breeding program this year with two sons that were selected for the performance test. On the dam"s side Ramon is supported by the Ladykiller xx bred Landgraf I son Landino, who made a good name for himself in Westfalen for throwing type. Landino (line 425) also thanks his fame to the performance star Lanciano, who sired Lord Sinclair. Further back we come to Paradox I, the versatile Westfalen sire, and behind him is Grünspecht. Paradox I counts as one of the Westfalen foundation sires. He was a very versatile sire and is in the pedigree of many sporthorses. (Hann. Stutenstamm 663-Schridde, Band I); great grandmother Grille is a full sister to Grünberg 41.01784.67 Ldb Westf; with Sioux (s Sinus xx) Grille produced Silvester 41.02360.73 Ldb Westf). The dam line produced the stallions Patriot (s Paradox I), Silvester (s Sioux xx), Polidiktus vd Helle (s Polydor) and Apart (s Angelo xx) amongst others. Dam Irodi produced 2 foals, of which 1 is a colt and 1 is a filly.
