CASALLIDO descends from the prestigious Holsteiner dam line 18b1 (foundation mare Lisch bred by Theis Thomahlen in 1861) and combines the greats of Holstein breeding in his pedigree:

His sire, Casall, was one of the absolute top horses in international show jumping under Rolf-Göran Bengtsson. Casall competed at the Olympics, World and European Championships, and had 10 stage wins in the Global Champions Tour, until Casall retired from the sport in perfect health at the age of 18 with a victory in Hamburg and is still thriving at the age of 26. Casall is unmatched in terms of breeding prowess where he has sired multiple 1.60m Championship jumpers, a growing number of top-class approved stallion sons in multiple studbooks and is now also seen as a champion broodmare sire where his daughters are now also producing both athletes for the top sport and next generation stallion sons.
In the next generations behind Casall are the legendary Holstein super sires Calido I, Landgraf I, and Capitol I – all of whom require no introduction and can more than speak for themselves in terms of what they each achieved and have produced as absolute top performers in both sport and breeding.

This modern Casall son, and his one-year older full brother the much sought after young Holstein Approved stallion Cape Calidus were bred by Jendrik Oldekop (extremely successful German Breeder) from the very highly rated Holsteiner Zuchtbuck mare Baffari. Casallido is being produced slowly for sport and currently jumping 1.20m courses in training with ease. He will be aimed at and compete in the DAFM Development Series for 5-year-olds horses in the late 2025.
His dam Baffari has already bred two older female progeny – Iffari (s. Caretino, and so a three-part sibling to Casallido) who won the Mare Studbook Jumping Competition (1.10m) as a 4-year-old and has been retained for breeding where she has already bred a Champion filly foal (s. Chacfly) in 2024. The second daughter of Baffari is Kandella (s. Comme il Faut) and she has been produced slowly to the 1.25m level in FEI Sport and is now ready for the bigger classes – she is currently schooling 1.50m in training – videos available. Two younger daughters follow: Uffari 2022 (s. Untouchable) and a 2024 filly by HH Conrad and this filly has already been bought back by the breeders of the stallion HH Conrad so as to acquire entry into Stamm 18b1 for future sport and breeding activities.

Casallido brings with him a comprehensive package of both superior physical, athletic and genetic prowess that will interest breeders. He offers excellent bloodlines, not only for mares with Holsteiner genetics but he will equally make a significant contribution to Irish-bred sport mares and other modern mares aimed at breeding jumping athletes. His first crop foals of 2024 are absolute stunners with great physical presence and are commercial modern typey individuals that move really well with potential for sport. His second crop foals born now (2025) are all equally impressive, athletic and modern types too.
The granddam (Haffari) is the dam of (among others) the stallion Aperol by Aloube Z, who was successful in the 1.60m level with Lars Nieberg at World Cup level. Behind her, the great-granddam produced, among others, Carrynah by Carry, who was successful at the 1.55m level.

The Line 18b1 is responsible for the licensed stallions Quantum, Quality, Chin Champ, and Constant and Farn (sire of Nimmerdor, Sire of the Century), as well as the sport horses Queen Lisa (Toni Haßmann), Campesino (Thomas Voß), Catwalk (Christian Ahlmann), and Askaban (Timo Beck) among many other successful important horses in the jumping sport and mares in breeding. Indeed, the 18b1 line continues to be a major influence in breeding Holsteiner jumpers and elite sport horses worldwide. A description from the Maalwater Elite Auction referred to the 18b1 line as: “Stamm 18b1 is the sports-line par excellence and today is a major Influence in modern day Showjumping at top levels in sport”.
