Nirvana Interagro is another son of the extraordinary Capicua MLC a mare from the Portuguese Stud of Manuel Lopo de Carvalho (MLC) from whom Interagro was lucky enough to acquire two of her best brood mares: Capicua MLC and Cigana MLC. The latter is the dam of some of the most important Interagro stallions: Noblíssimo, Obtuso, Profano and Rocinante Interagro. Capicua MLC, unfortunately not longer alive, left a remarkable offspring: the dressage champions Montezuma do Mirante and Nirvana Interagro and the daughters Mucuna and Ordenada Interagro. With respect to the male offspring, Montezuma (Xique-Xique CI x Capicua MLC) was a very successful athletic stallion with several victories in dressage competitions in Brazil and the U.S. from where he was exported to Australia; Nirvana has a still more impressive retrospect: starting his competition career in Brazil with the rider André Ganc, he won The 2001 Ranking of CBH - Confederação Brasileira de Hipismo/Preliminary Class ; subsequently with Pia Aragão, he was Vice Champion at The Southamerican Dressage/2004 - FEI Level and the same year he won 2 The PSL Association Ranking Intermediate II.

Capicua’s female offspring are not behind to their maternal brothers: Mucuna Interagro (Bronze BF x Capicua MLC) has two sons, both by Noblíssimo, Sargon and Ultrajado Interagro; the former now in the USA, is showing with much success in the dressage arena; the latter, sold at the 2005 Collection, was recently exported to Spain. The other daughter of Capicua MLC, Ordenada Interagro, is the dam of Vereador Interagro (Obtuso Interagro x Ordenada Interagro) a beautiful black stallion recently approved for reproduction and, as from this year of 2005, included in the selected group of Official Interagro Stallions.

The chronicle above is a very authentic demonstration of the importance of a correct genetic program and the excellent results which can thereby be reached; the two maternal lines of champions - Capicua MLC and Cigana MLC – through its crossings with other equally fantastic champion-producing families – Xique-Xique CI and Yacht SA, the latter through his grandsons Gatão JHC and Faraó JHC – yielding horses of the highest quality, true inheritors of these exceptional and uncommon genetics. Nirvana’s father, Gatão JHC, like Nirvana’s dam Capicua MLC also comes from a high performing athletic horse family of morphologically beautiful animals. Gatão JHC is a son of Dragão II SA.
