Performance report
Offspring report
A uniform collection of well-developed foals with more than sufficient jumper conformation. The necks have good length and muscling. The hind leg is
sickle-hocked and, on several foals, cow-hocked. The walk has sufficient stride length. The trot has more than sufficient stride length. The canter has sufficient stride length. The foals should use their bodies more in movement and show more elasticity. The quality of the dams was average. The collection consisted of ten foals which were invited by the KWPN.
California can improve conformation, reflexes, and "blood" in jumper breeding.

Lineage
California's sire Calvino Z (Calvin Z x Ramiro) was a successful show jumper under the USA's Chris Kappler.
California's dam Cally Z is a daughter of the Grand Prix stallion Caretano Z (Caretino x Reichsgraf). Cally Z's dam Ophelia, an S-level show jumper, is by Landgraf I out of Ballade (s.Farnese). In addition to Cally Z, Ophelia produced two S-level jumpers by Quidam de Revel and Cinzano, as well as the Holsteiner stallion Reichsgraf (s.Rinaldo). The selected stallion Galloway (s.Galoubet A), who was subsequently approved in Ireland, is another product of this direct dam-line.
