Cicera is full sister to the late Cicero that stood in the US and to the international show jumper and extraordinary sire Cavalier Royale (see link at the bottom of this page and read about his impressive progeny!).
Several years after his premature death at 17 Cavalier Royale is now also a leading sire of eventers 2006, (he is, for example, sire of Cavaldi, second place at Fair Hill CCI*** 2003, and Starlight).
Cavalier Royale had no less than THREE entries in Rolex 2007, including the WINNER Ben Along Time.

In 2003 year she successfully competed in the international Audi-Championship for Young Horses.
This proven pedigree with depth heightens the predictability of passing on awesome performance and looks!

Icewater and Concerto Grosso come from Holsteiner Stamm 474A, one of the best and most successful motherlines in the world.
