About Canturo

Canturo is a (died 2011) Bay showjumping stallion foaled in 1995, by Cantus out of a Calando I dam.

Canturo was a bay Holsteiner stallion, born on 8th April 1995, making a significant impact in the world of showjumping. Bred by Herbert Diederich, his athleticism and competitive nature were notable from a young age. Competing in the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, he represented Brazil with rider Bernardo Alves and they achieved ninth place in the team competition. Canturo's showjumping career included wins at prestigious events like the Prize of Europe at the 2005 CHIO in Aachen. He excelled in international 5* contests and participated in the 2006 World Equestrian Games. His successful career included numerous placings in CSIO, CSI***** and World Cup classes, leading to an influential breeding career through his remarkable progeny. His pedigree was impressive, sired by Cantus, a son of the legendary Caletto I, with a dam line that included Cor de la Bryère and connected to Calando I, showcasing exceptional breeding potential in Holsteiner dams.

Canturo proved to be an exceptional sire, with numerous offspring reaching the top echelons of the showjumping world. Among his notable progeny is Good Luck, who carried Cian O'Connor to a bronze medal at the 2017 European Championships. Good Luck also contributed to wins in Nations Cup events at Dublin, St. Gallen, and Sopot, underscoring the high calibre of Canturo's progeny. Zypria S, another outstanding offspring, claimed an individual silver medal at the Longines Nations Cup Finals with Willem Greve. His progeny have collectively amassed over 3 million Euros in winnings, demonstrating their significant influence in the sport.

Canturo died in 2011 at Belgium (colic). Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
