Pedigree

Lanciano did his father and maternal grandfather proud from the very start: his enormous presence, beautiful head, and stallion performance test's top rideabilty mark of 140,25 made him into one of the most coveted breeding stallions at the time, passing on an ideal combination of the best possible bloodlines to his offspring.
