The champion of the 2019 stallion grading has been collecting ribbons with Lucas Wenz over the past two years. A frequently used stud already in his first breeding seasons, he now boasts international placings. Same as their sire, his offspring have been living up to expectations as well, with many of his children demonstrating magnificent type and jumping quality, impressively confirmed by several champion foals and top-priced auction lots.
Cahil offspring stand out for their athleticism. His foals are modern and elegant and always leggy, with strikingly elastic basic gaits and impressive charm and chic. In particular when bred to mares influenced by TB blood, Cahil sires very interesting offspring.

Sire
Cornet Obolensky himself had caused a splash on the international show jumping scene with Marco Kutscher by winning the gold medal at the Madrid Europeans with the German team as well as the Zurich world cup competition and the Rome and Rotterdam Nations Cups. In 2012, Cornet Obolensky was awarded the title of most successful German jumping horse. Over the last two decades he has had a great impact on jumping horse breeding all across the globe and has definitely demonstrated his quality as a sire with offspring such as Cornet d’Amour, Comme il faut, Cornado I or Clooney.
His sire Clinton took fourth place at the Athens Olympics with Dirk Demeersmann; in addition to Cornet Obolensky, he has sired many other successful international elite sport horses including Eldorado van de Zeshoek TN, Clintop, Cordess and Clintissima.
His second sire Corrado I, himself a highly successful international sport horse with Franke Sloothaak, founded a sire line in the Holsteiner breeding programme.
Another positive aspect of his bloodline is Cornet Obolensky’s damsire, Heartbreaker, a stallion much esteemed for his quality offspring.
Damline
Cahil’s dam Operette III is by top stallion Contender. Her produce includes Vienna Olympic, an exceptional mare who made the top 25 with Sheikh Ali Al Thani (QAT) at the Caen WEG at nine-year-old. Another daughter, Wonka, also boasts international achievements, won the Holsteiner State six-year-old Championship and produced the licensed stallion Forino.
Mare family 776 is currently the largest stem in the Holsteiner breeding programme. The branch established by Ernst Schacht in Todendorf is considered particularly successful and is now intensively bred at Grönwohldhof.
Own performance
Cahil completed 14-day ability assessment in Neustadt upon Dosse in 2020 with very good results. He was given 9.0 on free jumping ability, willingness to perform and rideability (test rider). He completed the test with a total mark of 8.78 (jumping weighted). In the 2021, he completed sport testing for four-year-old stallions in Verden, where he received the final mark 8.22 (jumping weighted). In March 2022, Cahil completed part II of his sport test in Verden with the final weighted mark 8.25.
Cahil has been produced by Lucas Wenz for a good two years now – and with good success. Over the past season, the combination secured numerous wins and placings up to 1.40m level.

Offspring of Cahil
Cahil foals demonstrate impressive type and movement. At the Holsteiner foal auction in Falsterbo, a high-quality Cahil daughter out of a dam by Uriko (Wilfried Thoman, Drelsdorf) sold to a new Swedish owner realizing 17,000 euros. Bernd Börger of St. Michaelisdonn has found a true nick in breeding Cahil to his Clarcon mare, producing a winner of the 2022 and 2024 R+V Holsteiner state foal championships, respectively. The 2023 premium foal by Cahil out of his Clarcon mare was stallion graded at Elmshorn in December 2025 under the name Congress Dancer. Already from his first crop a son (out of a Clarimo dam) presented for licensing at Elmshorn in late 2023 was stallion graded. At the Neustadt upon Dosse German Sport Horse grading held in January 2024, a Cahil- Con Air son has been licensed and awarded premium status. Last year, another Cahil son (dam sire Clarimo) has been licensed in Belgium.
Chuck by Cahil-Claudio became the celebrated top-priced lot of the Holsteiner riding horse auction in December 2025, with Klaus-Peter Wiepert investing 175,000 euros to secure this exceptional athlete for Christian Hess.
