Wilotto is, just as the KWPN stallion Nero (Balzflug), bred out of the ‘keur preferente prestatie’ mare Wilotte (Onyx) from NL dam line 113. Via the Onyx, the line goes back to the famous ‘keur preferente prestatie’ and ‘sport’ mare Liselot (Hurricane). Liselot we know as grandam to the Olympic dressage horse Biraldo (Rinaldo). The national dressage horse Cicero W (Ariban xx) and the well-known dressage stallion Jacardo (Elcaro) are also products of this dressage lineage.
