Colandro is a unknown showjumping stallion foaled in 2002, by Contendro I out of a Calando I dam.

Colandro is a Holsteiner stallion born in 2002, known for his involvement in the showjumping discipline and a strong progeny performance record. Bred and owned by Pieter and Gerdia Dolfsma at Stal Retto, Colandro has achieved significant success both in breeding and competition. He was a 2nd Reserve Champion at the Holstein Stallion Licencing in 2004, showcasing the quality of his lineage early in his career.

Competing up to 1.30 meters, Colandro was initially ridden by Gerdia Dolfsma and Dirk Ahlmann. He has been stationed at Drumhowan Stud in Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan, under the management of Eamonn and Gladys McArdle. Horse Sport Ireland awarded him a 5* status in the Irish Sport Horse Studbook for the outstanding international performances of his progeny.

Colandro has sired several notable offspring in the showjumping world. Buckle Up, a KWPN horse previously ridden by Shane Sweetnam, achieved significant rankings in international competitions. Additionally, Dez’ Ooktoff, another successful progeny, competed under Colombian rider Roberto Teran-Tafur. Cor Bakker, yet another progeny, is successfully competing with Mexican rider Fernando Martinez Sommer. These accomplishments have contributed to Colandro receiving a 5* showjumping progeny merit, underscoring his impact as a breeding sire.
