Cascadello I

Information

About - The Casall son attracted attention at a young age. In 2011 he was reserve champion of the Holstein licensing in Neumünster, where he impressed with his outstanding jumping, which is characterized by great ability and speed. In 2012 he won the HLP in Marbach with dream scores such as 9.08 for jumping ability, 9.0 for gallop and 9.0 for interior. He underlines his top class with an optimal type. Very modern, large-framed and equipped with a perfect topline, he delights us in our daily work with his positive attitude to sport, his fantastic rideability and his enormous ability to learn. These characteristics, complemented by his absolutely clear head, convinced the judges at his first tournament appearances and so he continued his sporting career with successful appearances at the Elmshorn State Championships and the Federal Championships in Warendorf, among others. 

Sire - Casall ASK is still winning grands prix aged 18 with Rolf-Goran Bengtsson, who rode him since 2005. As a six-year-old, he was third in the Bundeschampionat and Schleswig-Holstein Champion, but it is his international career that has been exceptional. He was the overall winner of the Longines Global Champions Tour (GCT) in 2016, winning not only the final in Doha but also the Paris and Valkensward legs. The previous season, he won the Rome and London GCT grands prix, and was third in the GCT rankings at the end of the season; throughout his career, he has won or finished on the podium in a GCT grand prix 22 times. He has won over €1.8 million on the Global Champion Tour alone. He was also 4th individually at both the 2014 World Equestrian Games and the 2013 European Championships, where he also won team bronze. His soundness and reliability have been remarkable - he has never missed a season in his 13-year career, and he ranked fourth on the WBFSH Sire Rankings in 2016.

Damline - His dam Viviana has produced three licensed stallions. She is the daughter of Clearway by Capitol I, who achieved international placings with Lars Bak Andersen, for example at the Neumünster and Braunschweig Grands Prix. Clearway's dam Wodka’s good genetic make-up is also brought out by her daughters Chika’s Way (by Caretino), a mare with many international results first under Janne Friederike Meyer, then Katrin Eckermann, and Pius Schwizer, and Carassina (by Concerto II), winner of the Hamburg Derby under Thomas Kleis in 2009. Capitol I is a real rarity in the ranks of Holsteiner stallions he related to that other pillar of Holsteiner breeding, Landgraf, which means he adds variety into any breeding programme founded on those lines.

Progeny -  His brilliant offspring have already made him a trademark stallion. Elegance, modernity, athletic lightness, strength of movement, very well-formed toplines and consistently noble faces not only delight breeders, but also impress the jury at various foal shows and buyers at auctions. Cascadello I has produced several winning foals at championships and his offspring can achieve top prices at auctions. Cascadello in 2024 ranked 17th on the WBFSH sire rankings for show jumping. He has a total of almost 300 offspring that have been successful in sport, of which almost 40 have been successful in 1.50m - 1.60m show jumping. So far he also has 28 licensed sons.
