Cisco is by Concerto II - Contender out of Harada - Corrado I. Impeccable breeding, performance, and temperament. His first American crop are truly remarkable. Reserve circuit champion at HITS Ocala ‘05, level 7. Just starting Grand Prix career. Two career victories back to back in ‘06 and many top placings.

Excerpted from a Classic Company Press Release - Atlanta Summer Classics II (2007) “Cisco, the 8-yea rold Holsteiner stallion out of the great Concerto II with rider-owner Derek Petersen of Archer, Florida, in the irons were the second pair to go clean within the first round time allowance of 103 seconds, posting a fault free run of 94.839. “Loved the course, it was a fun one and Buddy Brown is one of my favorite designers,” Petersen began in reference to the first round. “It was a long layout so you have to try to save your horse to make sure he’s got enough steam. The oxer combinations coming off the banks could really take it out of most horses; luckily Cisco just came off of breeding so he’s really pumped up and fit.” Several of the top contenders fell out of the running due to those very obstacles. “ A big stride horse can cover the ground easily and get around that track. Cisco’s only 16.3 but he’s got the stride,” Derek further commented on the long layout. The second round consisted of a twisty track with 7 jumps most of which were oxers and a tight rollback to the dreaded triple bar, all to be completed cleanly in a 50 second time allotment. From the 4 returning only Cisco and Petersen accomplished the double clean in a time of 40.763. “Everytime I can go out and do this is another blessing from the Lord!” Derek said of the victory.”
