Vega's dam is by Callahos Benicio.  “A great moment” was how commentator Christoph Hess described CALLAHO ́SBENICIO’s performance at the 2011 German Championships for six-year-old dressage horses, for which the judges gave the dream marks of 10.0 for trot and walk, 9.5 for overall impression and 9.0 for canter. This meant that the title could not be taken away from him.

​

BENICIO then went one better at his 30-day test in Schlieckau: he received the maximum score of 10.0 a total of ten times. The weighted final score of 9.14 meant the clear victory. The dressage final score added up to a 9.88, which has never been achieved before. With an 8.43, the final score was also impressive. The resulting stallion performance test breeding score for dressage is a brilliant 167.

​

In sport, he is known by the name CALLAHO ́S BENICIO. Here he can now point to series victories in the advanced class up to Grand Prix level. Among other things, he finished second in a qualification for the Nuremberg Burgpokal.

Vega is spectacular to watch in the paddock.  She has magnificent paces.  She is initially a shy foal but once she has worked out that you are the supplier of food and scratches she is friendly and curious.  She is available to the discerning dressage rider.​
