BREEDING ACHIEVEMENTS
2008
Cantos is the best represented stallion with five sons who were send off to the second viewing in ‘s-Hertogenbosch. Because of different circumstances none of his sons reach the finish. But in sport Cantos offspring manifest themselves prominently. Society’s Voila and Velvet Rose are the highlights at the World Championships for Young Horses in Lanaken. Voila wins bronze and Velvet Rose qualifies for the Final. Previously they both finished equal fourth in the VION Cup final and Voila wins the M-class at Jumping Amsterdam. Wamberto wins the four-year-old class at jumping Indoor Luttenberg and Casantos – one of Cantos’ approved sons – wins the Masters in Wanroij. Others that were successful in sport were Via Wetten, Velex, Van Cantos and Vabantos. At the studbook selections six mares received the ster predicate and meanwhile one of his daughters is keur.
