Bandelier is the half brother of Bobalouie ZF. Both colts were sired by the Oldenburg stallion, Magic Ronaldo, on dressage-type mares at Zephyr Farm. Bandelier is the youngest of the 2006 foal crop. At maturity, this fellow should stand about 16.3h and be a superb dressage mount.
Magic Ronaldo was the champion of the stallion selection trials in 1997 and has achieved renown for his dressage talents throughout Europe, competing at Prix St. George and Intermediare levels since 2003. In addition to his dressage career, Magic Ronaldo has developed a reputation as a breeding stallion. His offspring have been eagerly sought by dressage training stables in Europe. Foals by Magic Ronaldo were sold for the highest prices at auctions in Drachten and Weert in 2001. In 2003, a stallion foal by Magic Ronaldo broke the sale price record in Holland.
