Only few breeding stallions have had such an impact in such a relatively short time as Uriko. At 18, he has already founded a sire line of his own and boasts excellent sons and licensed grandsons. At the same time, his offspring perform convincingly 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. Uriko is a sport horse sire of extraordinary importance!
A sport horse, performance and jumping horse sire of international quality. He has already had a great impact on the Holsteiner breed, as he is responsible for a striking number of sport horse offspring at international level. He should be bred to mares with good rideability and willingness to perform.

Sire
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 mare family 4173 with crosses to the performance sires Corrado, Ronald, Fasolt and Marlon/TB. In recent times, successful international sport horses from this family like for example Balourado, a Baloubet du Rouet son ridden by Robert Smith, have attracted attention.
Own Performance of Uriko
Uriko underwent performance testing in autumn 2011, with the judges confirming the talents previously shown by the young stallion. With his canter graded 9.25 and his jumping ability 8.83, his total stallion performance test-based breed value is 130.
Uriko boasts an impressive track record under Maximilian Gräfe as he won six jumping classes at S* level and was highly placed in jumping classes to S** level. He continued his success story under Ebba Johansson with placings to S*** level.

Offspring of Uriko
Uriko’s foals are characterized by very good type. His offspring include Unlimited, the 2016 Holsteiner champion stallion, and Uno I, the 2017 reserve champion stallion.
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. Boasting numerous wins at Grand Prix level, he was on the Dutch team at the Paris Olympics and the best Holsteiner individually. 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).
