Calypso OS Wins Top 10 Jr Stallion at Salon Du Cheval World Championships
Video Provided By: SabankayaSelect Here is the first video we are uploading of our dear, beloved colt, Calypso OS, as he competed in the Salon Du Cheval World Championships in Paris, France a few weeks ago. Mustafa took the video and Chera took the stills, but we admit we were slightly distracted with the excitement of cheering for Calypso rather than focusing on using our cameras! As you can see in the video, Calypso is playful and affectionate and appears to enjoy taking trips to the shows. He has been known to take naps between classes, completely at ease with the chaotic environment. It is this temperament combined with his charisma and beauty that steals our hearts. At the age of 25 months, this was Calypso’s 12th successful top level show (see his resume below). We are currently editing footage from his previous 11 shows, which we will post as soon as we get them done. Calypso’s 13th show is right around the corner, as he has been specially invited to compete in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s prestigious Prince Sultan Bin Abudulaziz International Arabian Horse Festival in the beautiful city of Riyadh. As Calypso’s humans, we, too, have been invited to the festival and are thoroughly looking forward to the opportunity, which we are told is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Here is Calypso’s resume. We will be posting videos for these shows very soon. Hope you enjoy this video! Thanks for watching! Warmest Holiday Wishes with Love from Paris, Mustafa and Chera 1.
