This big-framed stallion’s strength and expression are very impressive. Steeped in athleticism, the Clarimo son boasts the typical Holsteiner flow of movement, rhythmic and very groundcovering at trot and canter. Jumping is his forte. His scope and ability as well as his excellent reactions make him a very promising jumper.
“Ability never goes out of fashion”– this is one of famous horseman Paul Schockemöhle’s indisputable key concepts. Even though great ability is frequently known to go along with somewhat reduced carefulness and respect, this does not apply to Crunch, as he stands out for his carefulness as well as his ability. His careful jumping might well be down to his breeding, as Clearway, Cantus and in particular Caletto II, a stallion Crunch carries on both sides, have a reputation to pass on their jumping quality with great reliability.
Crunch embodies many aspects of the archetypal Holsteiner jumper – big-framed, with a big canter, lots of ability, carefulness and fighting spirit. He is expected to pass on his jumping ability, first and foremost. Considering he is hardly a refining stallion, he should be bred to elegant, leggy mares with a well-constructed, compact top-line to produce horses suited for future market requirements. Traits like strength, energy and jumping talent are firmly established in Crunch’s genetic make-up.
The stallion
is available at all stations of the Holsteiner Verband stallion stable.Same as Crunch, his sire Clarimo has international results at 1,60m under Rolf-Göran Bengtsson which include winning the Falsterbo grand prix in 2016. Clarimo is a force to be reckoned with also as a breeding stallion, with high-profile international show jumping offspring like Bardolina (Mario Deslauriers) and Chardonnay (Max Kühner).
Crunch’s dam Shamrock I, a big-framed Canturo daughter, stands out for her excellent canter. She also produced the highestpriced lot of the 2014 Neumünster auction, Dito by Diarado, which was sold to successful international show jumper Chris Chugg, the former rider of Vivant, at 110,000 euros. Having already performed convincingly at S level with Chris Chugg at eight-year-old, he is since September 2018 shown in classes through 1.60m by Denis Lynch.
Crunch’s 2nd dam, Herzdame II, also produced the international jumper Lakey by Lasino, ridden by Canada’s Christina Mailin,
and the successful S level jumper Ragnarök 2 by Lavaletto.

In 2018, the combination made the jump to international top level and placed in the Paris, Valkenswaard and Rome legs of the Global Champions Tour. At the Herning CSI3*, Crunch won a class at 1.50m and placed second in the grand prix.

Crunch sport horse offspring are continuing to prove themselves in competition, in particular due to their jumping ability. Rasmus Lüneburg has as many as two Crunch daughters at his yard, seven-year-old Crunchy, who has already chalked up several S level placings as well as Chill ma, with several wins and placings in young horse classes to M level. Another Crunch daughter, Chilli, was highly placed in international 1.40m classes last season.
