His sire is the legendary "Ramiro Z" who, having been consistently rated year after year among the world's top 10 sporthorse sires for his outstanding breeding and offspring performance, has earned the titles "Stallion of the Century" and "King of Sires". Ramirez's dam Riletta, by Roberto, is from the same female family as champion showjumper Corrado. She was also a top performer competing at Advanced S level showjumping. Ramirez has a beautiful expressive head, strong upstanding conformation and a kind, intelligent mind. His performance career in Germany was highly promising; he scored 9s and 10s for paces and showed huge jumping ability and scope, with great willingness to perform - before a stable injury forced an early retirement. Ramirez is now proving his potential at stud by producing very attractive, athletic, character-filled progeny with springy uphill movement, powerful bold jumping technique and exciting natural talent for the dressage and jumping disciplines. His oldest progeny are out winning with distinction in National level showjumping, showhunter, dressage and showing competitions.
