CASSITANO

Cassitano is a stallion with size, a sporty model, with beautiful proportions and a lot of charisma: he was among the most beautiful models at the Holstein stallion admission in 2008.

His three gaits are extraordinary and explain why he was bought by the Gestüt Tannenhof even before the auction. We can notice Cassitano's qualities in his galloping and jumping: always alert in every phase, powerful in reaction, he shows a lot of technique and strength! His genetics oriented for jumping are impressive: with De Cento, half-brother of Casado and the internationally known stallions Briscar and Carthago. On his mother's side he descends from Ladalco, Caracas and Waterman. His great grandmother, Wonne VI and the stallion Koninspark XX produced the well-known stallion Kilian.

The Holstein 2049 line also produced the half-bred stallion, Feuerback and the internationally known jumping horse, Ilona, under the saddle of Herman Schridde.

Cassitano comes from the direct line of the mare Ilona.

So he has an interest in producing horses for jumping, but he is also interesting for pure dressage as he has so many qualities for this discipline: Strength, supple gaits, Energy and an Excellent Character. Nowadays, many dressage horses also have jumping blood.
He was competing until 2016 at Intermediate I level in Germany. Stationed in France, under the saddle of the rider, Eugénie Burban, Cassitano is Champion of Normandy, level St Georges, in 2017 and 2018, ranked 3rd at the CDIO of Saumur in 2017 and 3rd on the Inter II of Le Mans in 2019 . We also recommend him for the production of eventing horses. His production, highly sought after for eventing and sold at 3 years old before breaking in.
