Callias, a 13-year-old grey Holsteiner gelding by Companiero x Casco, epitomizes the quality and potential of the horses facilitated through BRIDL. His journey from acquisition to achieving international acclaim showcases the effectiveness of BRIDL in connecting elite horses with competitive stables.
Arrayán Stables sought to enhance their competitive lineup with a high-caliber horse capable of excelling in international show jumping. They needed a reliable platform to efficiently identify, negotiate, and secure the right horse.
In 2021, Callias was acquired by Arrayán Stables through BRIDL. The platform's transparency and efficiency were crucial in this transaction. Alejandro Entrecanales and Jesús Echevarria Garmendia had previously seen Callias compete and recognized his potential. BRIDL facilitated the negotiation, organized a trial, and ensured a seamless veterinary check and transport process, finalizing the purchase.
Callias has consistently demonstrated exceptional talent and a competitive edge since his acquisition. Under Jesús Echevarria Garmendia's guidance, Callias participated in 203 starts, securing 20 wins and achieving top placings in 85 events, resulting in a remarkable 42%+ top finish rate. One of his significant achievements was at the 2024 Andalucía Sunshine Tour's Invitational Grand Prix 1.60m class, where he qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics and the 2025 European Championships. His performance record includes numerous other significant victories and high placements, such as a triumphant run at the CSI5*-W Grand Prix in La Coruña. Callias's journey highlights the strategic prowess of BRIDL in enhancing Arrayán Stables' competitive success.
