Descendant:
The father of Kaliber is the Belgian showjumper Nabab de Rêve, the son of Quidam de Revel who was very successful at Grand Prix level under Philippe Lejeune. He is the father of several medal-winning horses such as Vigo d'Arsouilles by Philippe Lejeune and Glock's London by Gerco Schröder. The dam of Kaliber is the Ukato daughter Ulrieke Z. Ukato descends from the showjumper sire Stakkato. Ukato died young, but managed to profile himself strongly in the sport under Willem Greve. The duo won the GP of Hagen, Dresden and Salzburg, among others. Ulrieke's mother Ursela is a daughter of Oramé and her mother Gre is an elite preferent mare by Nimmerdor. This Gre brought 1.30m horses from Lux, Burggraaf and Cash and a 1.35m horse from Corland. She is also the grandmother of the Grand Prix show jumper Copa Cabana (by Cartano) of Mark Bluman, the international showjumpers Aeolus (by Landor S, 1.50m), Babylon (by Argentinus, 1.40m), Watson 149 (by Numero Uno, 1.45m), Ustinov (by No Limit, isp), Granito Noordenhoek (by Corland, 1.30m) and Emerald de Lux (by Emilion, 1.30m).
