A lot has happened in our stallion collection. We are delighted to have six new stallions with interesting bloodlines. In the coming season, the young stallions Capital One, Easy Jet and Bondolo as well as the two top sires Dream Boy and Hesselhøj Donkey Boy will be available in fresh semen. We are also pleased to be one of the few stallion stations allowed to market the frozen semen of the Belgian superstar Ermitage Kalone.
Capital One by Cador - Stakkato - Zeus, one of our greatest young hopes, has already won novice (A) level tests for young show jumpers and secured reserve victory at the Hanoverian Jumper Masters in Verden at the end of the season. The typey and elegant athlete shines with his willingness to perform and his work ethic as well as his scopey and careful jumping.
He was THE eye-catcher and crowd favorite at the 2024 Oldenburg Stallion Days: Easy Jet by Emerald - Cornet Obolensky - Pilot. He was honored as a premium stallion and comes from a dam line that is hard to beat in terms of performance: The second dam Panama produced seven advanced (S) level show jumpers and the dam line also produced World Cup final winner Corbinian (Steve Guerdat/SUI).
The third of the youngsters is Bondolo. The young stallion by Bonds - Totilas - Stoiber SN brings completely new bloodlines to our stallion line-up. The handsome dark gray convinced us with his charm and character as well as his excellent riding quality in his first saddle tests.
We are particularly pleased that we have not only been able to secure three youngsters, but are also able to present our breeders with highly interesting old stallions this year. Thanks to several cooperations, you have the choice between the dressage aces Dream Boy and Hesselhøj Donkey Boy as well as jumping star Ermitage Kalone.
Dream Boy by Vivaldi competed with Hans Peter Minderhoud at two European Championships, one World Championships, the Olympic Games in Tokyo and the 2019 World Cup Final in Gothenburg. They won team silver at the European Championships in Rotterdam. Dream Boy and Hans Peter Minderhoud were runners-up in the Dutch Championships three times in a row.
Hesselhøj Donkey Boy by Dancing Hit is one of the most famous stallions in Denmark. With Jan Møller Christensen, he won the Danish Championships for Young Dressage Horses four years in a row (2016 to 2019) and took the title in all classes from 4 to 7 years old.
Ermitage Kalone by Catoki won the gold medal at the Belgian Championships in 2023 under the saddle of Gilles Thomas and is currently placing at the highest level in international show jumping competitions.
As a new arrival unfortunately also means saying goodbye, some stallions are no longer with us.
Prime Time will now be working at our long-standing partner station Helasuo in Finland. Our faithful companion Casiro is spending a year abroad in Poland. Moreno OLD is already delighting a young dressage rider and Lausanne is also enjoying further training. Like Pleasure is currently successful with the German U25 champion, Mylen Kruse, and Herakles is now at home in the US.
We are looking forward to the 2024 season with young talents, proven sires and, above all, you, dear breeders!
