This expressive stallion convinced grading commission and audience alike already at the 2011 Neumünster stallion grading.
With a strong, well-muscled top-line and correct legs, his appearance is clearly stamped by his grandsire Caretino. His basic gaits are ground-covering and elastic with excellent rhythm.
Sucessful breeding stock is rarely produced by chance. The focus should be on careful attention to special traits over generations, thus providing for genetic reliability. This is most notably true with regard to the jumping ability running in Casalito’s family. His dam, 2nd dam, and 3rd dam have already produced successful S level show jumping offspring. Casalito’s jumping ability can thus be considered a genetically fixed trait. His powerfully muscled top-line is of great importance, since many of our mares lack in muscle mass and carrying power in this area. Mares bred to Casalito should be dynamic with enough TB influence and a long, well-set neck.
The stallion
is available at all stations of the Holsteiner Verband stallion stable.Casalito is by exceptional sire Casall. For years, Casall dominated the international show jumping circuit under his rider Rolf-Göran Bengtsson and crowned his career by winning the overall standing of the Global Champions Tour in 2016.
Casalito’s dam Lalique II comes from stem 18A2, a highly interesting and influential mare family with particular importance due to the great amount of TB blood elements. She carries Landgraf I and Lord, the best sons of TB sire Ladykiller, in direct succession. These icons of the Holsteiner breed have had great influence on the international show jumping scene through offspring like Landlord, Lausbub, Libero, Taggi, or Livius and Lugana.
On the dam’s side, the bloodline includes Mikado by Marlon/TB as well as the highly interesting TB stallions Nevado and Cottage Son. His dam, 2nd dam and 3rd dam have already produced show jumping offspring with S level achievements. Casalito’s full sister Cathleen has already chalked up achievements in jumping classes at S** level. Colicchio, a full brother to Casalito born in 2007, is shown at S level by Kenneth Vinther and has already made quite an impression in the USA through first placings in World Cup competitions.

In 2014, Casalito won young horse jumping classes at L and M level, including the Elmshorn State Championship, and placed 4th and 5th in the qualifiers to the final at the Warendorf National Championships. Since 2015, the stallion has been highly successfully shown by Christian Hess. Incurring no jumping penalties throughout the competition, Casalito performed brilliantly at the National 6-yearold Jumping Championships, and just missed out on the jump-off due to a time penalty, thus finishing on 7th position. 7-year-old, Casalito impressively demonstrated his scope in front of expert crowds at international show grounds, jumping to win the coveted title of State Champion at the Elmshorn Holsteiner Verband facility again and placing in the international youngster tours of the horse shows held in Groß Viegeln, Kiel, and Munich.
The past seasons saw him collect many placings in international jumping classes to 1.50m level, like for example in Herning, Spangenberg, Munich, Neumünster, Dortmund, Verden, and Neustadt upon Dosse.

Out of two first-crop colts selected for the 2015 Holsteiner stallion grading in Neumünster, Casello van de Helle has been licensed for breeding. Chigaru is another Casalito son stallion-graded at MunichRiem. Chigaru was successfully performance tested in Marbach where he received the total mark 8.45, scoring an excellent 9.5 on free jumping ability.
The first Casalito offspring born in 2013 have already attracted attention in young horse jumping classes over the past season. Casalito sons and daughters put to auction at the Holsteiner Verband riding horse sales did their sire credit, as well; at the spring auction, fouryear-old Colja for example sold to France at 40,000 euros.
