Legionario XIX

Macedonio's sire, Legionario XIX, bred by the famous Candau stud, was an exceptional stallion. There are 201 of his offspring registered in the Spanish Studbook. All of the stallions currently standing at the Candau stud are either his sons, grandsons or great grandsons. He has sired numerous prizewinning stock and International dressage horses, at both the Candau and Cardenas studs. He is the sire or grandsire of many SICAB winners and also at least 20 horses graded Calificado. We believe he may have received the 'Elite' grade in Spain, but have been unable to confirm this as yet.
Acacia III
Macedonio's dam is one of the Cardenas Studs most highly regarded mares. She received a Mention of Honour for 2yr old fillies at SICAB 1993 and a Silver medal in the cobra of 5 mares at Seville 2000. Her pedigree reads like a Who's Who of PRE horses, containing stallions such as Leviton, Vasallo II, Ranchero III, Bilbaino III, Agente, Maluso, Novato, Poseido III, Celoso III and Helicon.
Joya III
Another highly regarded Cardenas mare and Macedonio's Granddam. As well as her own achievements, listed below, she is also the Great Granddam of the 2007 SICAB Champion Stallion of Spain, Gitano XXXII. Her half sister, Intima II, was Champion Mare of Spain in 1981.

Macedonio's Great Grandsire, Leviton, is probably best known for being the sire of Evento, who competed in the dressage at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996, ridden by Ignacio Ramblas. Leviton was famed for his movement, which he passed on to his offspring. He was honoured at SICAB and is entered in the Spanish Book of Merits (LIMPRE). There are 173 of his progeny registered in the Spanish Studbook.
