Graziano showed a collection of more than sufficient developed foals who fit in the rectangular model more than sufficient with often a downhill body direction. The foals have an expressive head. The neck is sometimes a bit vertical with which it comes deep out of the chest. Sometimes the back was a bit weak. The croup is sloping on multiple occasions and also misses some length. The walk is correct and sufficient in length. The trot is sufficient in length and shows more than sufficient elasticity, impulsion and balance. The canter is sufficient in length, impulsion, balance and elasticity.
Number of registered offspring 2016: 14 fillies, 15 colts
Number of foals scored at home: 16 foals
Number of present foals: 6 foals

Lineage:
Graziano is Baltic VDL's first approved son. His dam is the ster mare Rienaldine, a Great Pleasure (Grannus x Nimmerdor) daughter out of the ster preferent mare Haldine, whose sire is the English Thoroughbred Mytens xx. Haldine also produced 1.30m-level horses by Polydox and Corland. Graziano's great-granddam Waldina is a ster preferent prestatie mare by Nimmerdor. In addition to producing the KWPN stallion Faldo (s.Purioso), who was a Grand Prix show jumper under Albert Zoer, Waldina produced two 1.30m jumpers by Oldenburg and a Small Tour horse by Enrico x. The dam-line continues with the ster preferent mare Onhonny, a Joost x Senner daughter.
