At just 17 years, he has already founded a sire line of his own and boasts excellent sons and licensed grandsons.
Only few stallions succeed in having such an impact in such a short time. At the same time, his offspring perform convincingly all along the line in competition, having become firmly established on the international scene and in young horse championships.
With his modern type and very well-constructed top-line he has had a very positive influence on the Holsteiner breeding programme in recent years. Many of his qualities which he also passes on to his offspring are of major importance for modern sport horse breeding. In particular his athleticism deserves special mention here. Already now, Uriko is a sport horse sire of extraordinary importance!
A successful sport horse and performance and jumping horse sire of international calibre, Uriko has had a great impact on the Holsteiner stud book these past years. The sheer number of his sport horse offspring is impressive. The mares bred to him should display good rideability and willingness to perform.

Sire
Uriko’s bloodline is highly interesting as he carries a unique combination of international top jumping sires.
Uriko’s sire Untouchable, performance-tested in competition at international top level himself, results from a cross of a son of French top sire Papillon Rouge to Dutch top stallion Heartbreaker. Through Carthago, Calypso I, Romantiker, and Cottage Son/TB the bloodline traces back to the important Holsteiner mare family 18A2.
Damline
Uriko’s dam Wizzard is a daughter of Lavaletto son Lavito, a maternal grandson of top sire Carthago. Wizzard’s dam line goes back to stem 4173 with crosses to the performance sires Corrado, Rocadero, Fasolt and Marlon/TB. Just recently, successful international sport horses from this family like for example Balourado, a Baloubet son ridden by Robert Smith, have been attracting attention.

Offspring of Uriko
Uriko’s foals are characterized by very good type. He has already produced eleven licensed stallions including Unlimited, the 2016 Holsteiner champion stallion, and Uno I, the 2017 reserve champion stallion. A total of three Uriko sons have been licensed for breeding at the 2017 Holsteiner stallion grading.
His offspring’s quality tells its own tale. His son Uricas v/d Kattevennen finished third in the 2023 Global Champions League - Super Cup finale in Prague with Harrie Smolders, which earned him 333,333 euros. Bull Run's Jireh (damsire: Colman) is successfully shown up to 1.60m level by Kristen Vanderveen in the USA. Uriga VA (damsire: Clarimo) finished third at Deauville in the CSIO3* Nations Cup with Diarmuid Howley. And also his daughter Charisma HS brings attention to her sire: The Uriko-Cassito mare owned by Hugo Simon became National Champion of the five-year-old jumping horses with Richard Vogel in 2019 and is now highly successfully shown at international level by Sergio Alvares Moya (ESP).
