In 1999, on 13 April, a colt by Caretino out of the mare Kira XVII, bred by Wilfried Thomann (Drelsdorf) was born - that was the birth of Casall, a top sire and a world class sport horse! We are very happy that he is so fit and doing very well at the age of 23.
With Casall, the flagship of the Holstein breed is available to breeders for breeding. 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.
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, like for example Cupfer, a top prospect at the stable of Marcus Ehning, H&M Chilli Willi with Nicola Philippaerts (BEL), Austria with Kent Farrington, Caillou with Karl Cook, Casallvano with Daniel Deusser, Cita with Daniel Coyle, Chesall Zimequest with Simon Delestre (FRA), Casello under Ludger Beerbaum, Cristallo A LM with Philippe Rozier (FRA), Wunschkind with Eric van der Vleuten (NED), Casall under Ali Wolff (USA), and Caracas under Jos Verlooy (BEL), to name just a few.
Casall is a highly respected sire who continues to impress us with top offspring in top international sport. You can find all further information about Casall here:
