When Calliope came into our barn, we had bought the dam of approved Carel Deak by Markus Deak xx.  Calliope's dam Copelia II had been sold in foal to Arogno in 1989 to Jo Neal to Great Britain.  The foal she gave birth there came back to Germany as a young horse and was sold during the Neumünster Hengstmarkt elite mare auction to Ariane Meisel (Hamburg).  I bought her daughter Catalina from Ariane, and shortly after Catalina I also bought Calliope for my breed.

Ten days after giving birth to Cammee, however, we had to say farewell forever to Calliope ...

Calliope was sired by breeding legend Arogno – the stamping sire of the 20th century, who had to put up with the reserve titels of his licensing and of Bundeschampionat, but proved to be the true winner in breeding.  Bernd Eylers describes him: "Arogno was a very typey, elegant stallion with an eye-catching face and a harmonic body.  He was attested excellent gaits and fascinating temperament and character ... it's hard to imagine Trakehner breed of the past decades without Arogno ... despite his chances in breeding were limited in the beginning, he sired 13 approved stallions and a number of top mares."

Calliope's dam Copelia II was the champion mare of the Traventhal central mare inspection and scored a rarely granted 10 in type.  She found a new home in the British Holme Grove stud and foaled excellent crop there, among them ATA model mare Holme Grove Cappuccino.  With a breeding record of 13 foals in 15 years of breeding Copelia II died in 2003 at age 18 from internal bleeding during birth of her last foal.

For us, Calliope became the dam of two extraordinary fillies:
Catalina by Charly Chaplin
Cammee by Donaufischer
