SE FARM announces the approval of their 5 year old embryo transfer twins, LeoneSE (16.1hh) and LeonadoSE (17hh). (Liostro/Pikadero) Both stallions are 5 years old, born days apart to different mares through the embryo transfer process. On the sire side, they are sired by Liostro, who at the time of their conception was still alive and the last living son of Ladykiller, the foundation sire of Holstein.
Liostro is now deceased and his semen is no longer available, therefore the offspring are highly coveted. Liostro has sired many international grandprix jumpers and dressage horses in Europe and the US, the most famous are Mark Watring's Pan-American gold medal winner, Sapphire and Mandy Porter's Lio Calyon, also a famous grandprix jumper. Sapphire has recently been successfully cloned.
On the dam side, the stallions are out of Piktorial, herself a incredible jumper with spectacular movement. She is a daughter of Pikadero, an elite Hanoverian stallion who is now also deceased and was owned by Mary Shirley. Pikadero's progeny are known to inherit his willing temperment, easy going nature, amazing scope, and powerful graceful gaits, as he was a dressage champion before he became a grand prix jumping superstar. As a jumper, Pikadero placed in 95% of all grand prix starts and won dozens of titles, nationaly and internationally. He was a member of the U.S. Equestrian Team at Hickstead, and champion at Arnhem and Aachen.
