Even at three weeks old, GRANADA showed the full body and rounded structure of a classic PRE, inherited from her sire, INVASOR III, son of EVENTO, Olympic Team Dressage Silver Medal winner - Athens, 2004 and 3/4 brother to DISTINGUIDO X - Spanish Dressage Team - Bronze Medal - 2002 World Equestrian Games, Jerez, Spain. Dam is GRUNONA III, a very regal mare who's crisp and lofty movement can be attributed to her PANADERO VIII bloodlines which are responsible for the same grace and elevation shown by his famous sons INVASOR II & Gaucho III.
