Casall has been the Holsteiner studbook’s poster boy over the past years. Only very few stallions have had such an impact on the sport and on the breeding scene while still alive. There is no jumping horse studbook in the world that has not been influenced by Casall.
Under Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, Casall was one of the highest-achieving horses on the international show jumping circuit. During the past years, he reached the top 25 at all major championships, the 2012 London Olympics, the 2013 Herning Europeans, and the 2014 Caen World Equestrian Games.
Past experiences in breeding Casall show that he should be bred to tall and big-framed mares or those known to reliably pass on height and frame. In particular mares greatly influenced by Capitol blood have positive qualities making them well suited for breeding to Casall.

Remark
Casall is only available for embryo transfer after written permission by the Holsteiner Verband Hengsthaltungs GmbH. TG inseminations with Casall are only possible with selected veterinarians.
Sire
His sire Caretino counts among the Holsteiner studbook’s top sires. Through Caletto II, another exceptional breeding stallion, the sire line traces back to once-in-a-century stallion Cor de la Bryère.
Damline
Casall’s dam Kira traces back to stem 890, one of the most successful Holsteiner performance mare families. At the 2005 stallion grading in Neumünster, her son Clarence by Carano attracted a lot of attention and won reserve champion.
Casall’s 2nd dam, Maltia by Raimond, produced Taura (by Lord), and Taura in her turn produced the licensed stallions Ringo Starr and Cesano I and II. The successful international sport horses, Crocodile Dandy (Alison Firestone) and Conally (Markus Renzel), are out of Taura, as well.
Own Performance of Casall
Under Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, Casall was one of the highest-achieving horses on the international show jumping circuit. During the past years, he reached the top 25 at all major championships, the 2012 London Olympics, the 2013 Herning Europeans, and the 2014 Caen World Equestrian Games. Herning saw him win team bronze with the Swedish team and placing 4th individually. At Caen, he took 4th place again following a more than convincing performance throughout the championship week. Since 2011, he won 10 legs of the Global Champions Tour. In 2014, he placed 2nd in the GCT’s overall standing, tied with the winner, Scott Brash, and he finished on 3rd place overall in 2015. In 2016, at 17, Casall won the Valkenswaard, Paris, and Doha legs as well as the overall standing of the Global Champions Tour.
At 18, Casall was retired from competition fit as a fiddle. And this top athlete ended his career with a bang as his farewell involved winning a Global Champions Tour leg in front of a home crowd, all his fans and the Holsteiner breeders – an amazing feat! The expert audience agreed that this could not have been scripted any better. The farewell ceremony directly after the win in front of a teary-eyed audience was again very emotional. Casall – a living legend!

Offspring of Casall
Casall is in a class of his own also as a breeding stallion. Various international top level competitions saw Casall compete against his own offspring – impressive evidence for his ability to pass on his quality. Only some of his offspring highly successful at international level will be mentioned here, like for example Austria with Kent Farrington, Calleryama with Thomas Gilles (BEL), Caillou with Karl Cook, Ariso under Jordan Coyle (IRL), Caracas with Jos Verloy (BEL), Casallvano with Daniel Deusser, Cita with Daniel Coyle, Chesall Zimequest and Simon Delestre (FRA), Casello with Ludger Beerbaum, Cristallo A LM and Philippe Rozier (FRA), Wunschkind with Eric van der Vleuten (NED) and Casall with Ali Wolff (USA), to name just a few.
His daughters Vontessa, Akimba, Cascada I, Graziella, Indira VI and La Perla won the Elmshorn elite mare show in 2008, 2011, 2013, 2017, 2019 and 2021, respectively. His sons Casaltino and Cadilo became champion stallions of the 2013 and 2018 Neumünster stallion grading, respectively. Two Casall sons won reserve champion stallion, Catch it in 2009 and Cascadello I, who sold at a record-breaking 600,000 euros, in 2011, and Cardin became
second reserve champion in 2017. In 2022, Kasallito des Forets by Casall became champion of the two-year-old stallions in France. As yet, 93 of his sons have been stallion graded across Germany and 85 of his daughters have been awarded state premium status in Holstein.
Year upon year, Casall foals stand out for their convincing charm and class. On the occasion of his 2017 retirement from competition in Hamburg, eight elite foals by Casall were knocked down at an average price of almost 22,000 euros; the highest-priced foal of the 2017 Elmshorn foal auction, which changed hands at 34,000 euros, was by Casall, as well. At last year’s Stephex auction sale, the highest-priced foals were by Casall, as well, with a Casall-Kannan filly knocked down at 96,000 euros and a Casall-Vigo d’Arsouille filly sold at 50,000 euros.
A three-year-old Casall daughter, Catherina by Casall-Montender, attracted particular attention in the 2017 Holsteiner elite riding horse collection and was knocked down at 150,000 euros.
