Casall has been the Holsteiner studbook’s figurehead over the past years. Only very few stallions have had such an impact on the sport and on the breeding scene while still alive. There is no jumping horse studbook in the world that has not been influenced by Casall.
Casall’s many offspring show that he is best bred to tall, big-framed mares or those that produce these qualities. His offspring are also known for their hardiness.

Remark
Casall is only available for embryo transfer after written permission by the Holsteiner Verband Hengsthaltungs GmbH. TG inseminations with Casall are only possible with selected veterinarians.
Sire
His sire Caretino counts among the Holsteiner studbook’s top sires. Through Caletto II, another exceptional breeding stallion, the sire line traces back to once-in-a-century stallion Cor de la Bryère.
Damline
Casall’s dam Kira traces back to stem 890, one of the most successful Holsteiner performance mare families. At the 2005 Neumünster stallion grading, her son Clarence by Carano attracted a lot of attention and won reserve champion. Casall’s second dam, Maltia by Raimond, produced Taura (by Lord), and Taura in her turn produced the licensed stallions Ringo Starr and Cesano I and II. The successful international sport horses, Crocodile Dandy (Alison Firestone) and Conally (Markus Renzel), are out of Taura, as well.
Own Performance of Casall
Under Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, Casall used to be one of the highest-achieving horses on the international show jumping circuit, making 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 fourth 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 second in the GCT’s overall standing, tied with the winner, Scott Brash, and he finished on third 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. At 18, Casall retired from competition fit as a fiddle. And this top athlete ended his career with a bang as his farewell involved winning a Global Champions Tour leg in front of a home crowd. The farewell ceremony directly after the win in front of a teary-eyed audience was again very emotional. Casall is a living legend!

Offspring of Casall
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.
At the European championships in Milano, a Casall daughter stood out in particular: Cinca. The Casall-Carthago daughter (Peter Wylde, Belgien) jumped to team silver under the saddle of Michael Duffy. Other top successful international Casall offspring include Austria with Kent Farrington, Calleryama with Gilles Thomas (BEL), Caillou with Karl Cook (USA), Caracas and Jos Verloy (BEL), Cita and Daniel Coyle, Chesall Zimequest with Simon Delestre (FRA), Casello and Ludger Beerbaum, Cristallo A LM and Philippe Rozier (FRA), Wunschkind with Eric van der Vleuten (NED) Casallco with Philip Rüping and Casall with Ali Wolff (USA).
His daughters Vontessa, Akimba, Cascada I, Graziella, Indira VI, La Perla and N-Quinta won the Elmshorn elite mare show in 2008, 2011, 2013, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023, respectively. His sons Casaltino and Cadilo became champion stallions of the 2013 and 2018 Neumünster stallion grading, respectively. Two Casall sons won reserve champion stallion, Catch it in 2009 and Cascadello I, who sold at a record-breaking 600,000 euros, in 2011, and Cardin became second reserve champion in 2017. As yet, 103 of his sons have been stallion graded across Germany and 90 of his daughters have been awarded state premium status in Holstein.
Year upon year, Casall foals stand out for their convincing charm and class. Casall’s sons and daughters realise top prizes at auction sales all over the world. At the 2019 Stephex auction sale, the highest-priced foals were by Casall, as well, with a Casall-Kannan filly knocked down at 96,000 euros and a Casall-Vigo d’Arsouille filly sold at 50,000 euros. At the Holsteiner foal auction held at the 2023 Hamburg Derby, a colt by Casall was knocked down at 26,000 euros.
A three-year-old Casall daughter, Catherina by Casall-Montender, attracted particular attention in the 2017 Holsteiner elite riding horse collection and was knocked down at 150,000 euros.
