Vallado brings a unique yet proven pedigree to North America. He comes from the successful Now or Never M and Saros xx (or Saros xx via Belisar) cross that is producing many outstanding young sport horses, approved stallions, and ster mares including Toronto - winner of the jumping phase of the 2003 70-day test, Valentino - winner of jumping phase of the 2005 70-day test, Wilton - winner of the 2006 70-day test, Ticino - currently competing with Kevin Kolbe, Uccello - earned a score of 131.2 for the jumping phase of his stallion testing, Upendo, Uljana, Uranda, Utopia, Vivaldi, Veronieta, Verieta, Volturno, Victor Utopia, Windsor, and Winston. At the KWPN judgement of the three year old progeny in 2003, the following remarks were made about Vallado's sire, Now or Never M, "The former champion of the stallion show, Now or Never M, of whom it has been made public that he will serve in Germany, scores the highest in this group. He produces correct and strong models, who move correctly, which has resulted in a high percentage of ster predicates". Now or Never M is from the exceptional bloodlines of Voltaire (jumping index 152 / dressage index 130), Nimmerdor (jumping index 156), and Maykel. Maykel is the sire of the international show jumper, Cavalier. Vallado's dam, a ster predicate mare, was sired by the improvement Thoroughbred sire, Saros (dressage index 156), who comes from a strong line of successful steeplechasers, race winners, and sport horses. Saros' dam also produced Swazi, the sire of the good Trakehner stallion, Consul. Vallado's second dam, a keur predicate mare, was sired by the Holsteiner stallion, Important. Vallado's third dam, Jacaranda, produced Baranda dam of the approved stallions, Uccello and Gouverneur, and Feranda who was successful in dressage in addition to producing the approved stallion, Terrano. Jacaranda was sired by the Holsteiner stallion, Amor (jumping index 139), who was a very successful sire with Dutch mares producing many international competition horses and approved stallions.
