There are few others as beautiful and eye catching as Lothlorien's Grafton. Well known at shows for his gorgeous coloring and magnificent, full tail, Grafton also carries a record of continued success and consistency throughout his many years as a high-level show jumper.

Under many different riding styles from Conor Swail, Daniel Coyle, and Hyde Moffatt; Grafton has proven to hold his own in any situation at top venues like Spruce Meadows, RDS Dublin, Ottawa International, WEF and many more at the 1.55m+ levels. Grafton has been used in recent years as a 'finisher' for Lothlorien, coming into specific competitions and competing at the top of his classes throughout Canada and the United States. Boasting a temperament like no other, Grafton is easily a barn favorite with his lovable nature and character not only to handlers, but to any and all animals he comes across. 

 

Grafton's sire, Calvaro Z, is recognized as an Olympic and world champion stallion after an illustrious career under the Whitaker brothers and J. Lansink. Calvaro Z is well known as an exceptional producer and is ranked consistently in the Top 20 in the WBFSH Stallion Rankings year after year. His offspring are known for their strength and drive, both of which Grafton exemplifies as well as exhibiting a winning attitude and positive work ethic. 

 

Grafton's dam, Olympic Champeix, is by 1.60m Vondeen out of Pariade de Pierre (Jalisco B) and has been a stellar producer. Her half brother jumped 1.60m and her full sister jumped 1.45m. Besides Grafton, Olympic Champeix has also produced 1.45m Harlequin des Flagues, 1.45m Gaia des Flagues, 1.50m Ermes des Flagues, and 1.60m Santiago de Blondel. Her oldest daughter, Surprise de Blondel (Kassidi), has produced two 1.60m horses, two 1.50m, and two 1.45m horses to date. You can expect a lot more from this damline in the future!

​

Grafton has a small crop of offspring on the ground, the most notable being Paris Olympic Individual Silver Medal winner, Dynamix de Belheme, who is currently being ridden at CSI5* level with Steve Guerdat (SUI). Her full brother, Cornetaux de Belheme, has reached 1.50m level while Caramel d'Orchis and Cahita de Blondel are eventing at CCI5* and CCI3* level. We look forward to the production and development of Grafton's North American offspring in the coming years!
