A young stallion of international calibre combining globally sought-after sport genes with the desired Holsteiner roots in a special way. This typey chestnut stallion thrills with three good basic gaits with very good balance, particular in the canter. He is a scopey jumper with quick reflexes which he is starting to prove under the rider, as well. A sire with a future, typey and charismatic, with awesome presence. And his first crop makes breeders’ hearts beat faster, having produced a reserve state champion filly.
Last year’s first training impressions were very promising. Karlo de Kalvarie boasts a balanced canter, good riding horse qualities and a powerful jump with loads of ability. His temperament and willingness to perform are as convincing as his conformation. With this stallion we provide the breeders with a very interesting genetic alternative.

Sire
Kassander van’t Roosakker himself was successfully shown up to 1.40m level by Gregory Whatelet (BEL) and impresses with offspring such as Picobello van’t Roosakker (Steve Guerdat/SUI), King of Panama Hero (Alexander Housen/BEL) and Quattro de Kalvarie (Niels Bruynseels/BEL).
The dam line of Kassander van’t Roosakker is impressive. The number of international top level jumping horses is without parallel, which is reflected in the worldwide demand for “Roosakker blood”. His dam Electra van’t Roosakker herself was successful up to 1.60m level with Janika Sprunger (SUI) and Jos Lansink (BEL) and produced a number of sport horses with international results like for example Kaprice under the saddle of US American Kent Farrington (1.60m) or Horpleasure van’t Roosakker (1.60m) with Manon Hebette, who starts for Algeria. Electra van’t Roosakker is a granddaughter of one of the most famous broodmares in the world, Usha van’t Roosakker by Chin Chin.
Damline
Karlo’s dam, Qiara de Kalvarie, is by Holsteiner stallion Sea Coast Don’t Touch Tiji Hero, and a perfect example for a mare with equally exceptional achievements at stud and in sport. Under the saddle of Gilles Thomas (BEL) the bay mare counts among the most outstanding up-and-coming horses on the international showing scene and boasts results through 1.55m level. Her 2025 achievements include finishing third in the Paris leg of the Global Champions Tour and securing silver in the Belgian Championships. Qiara de Kalvarie is a full sister to licensed stallion Dourkhan Hero Z; successfully shown at 1.60m level by Christian Ahlmann (GER) he was placed for example in the Geneva Rolex Grand Slam and the Global Champions Tour Super Cap in Prague. The produce of the third dam, Inka van’t Roosakker by Calvaro, includes Zarkava Hero Z, a 1.60m level jumper with Dutchman Johnny Pals, as well as the notable sport horses Leonardo van’t Roosakker (1.50m) and Novak de Kalvarie (1.45m). The fourth dam’s produce includes Electra van’t Roosakker (1.60m), Falco van’t Roosakker (1.60m) and MoM’s Gatoucha van’t Roosakker (1.50m).
Karlo de Kalvarie affords the Holsteiner breeders a sought-after performance pedigree with close ties to Holsteiner genetics. With selective linebreeding to the mare Usha van’t Roosakker on both sides, Karlo’s pedigree is twice as reliable. From his first crop, a filly boasting wonderful make and shape and great movement (out of a Diarado dam), took home the silver medal in the Holsteiner foal championship, the youngest foal entered.
