"Casall has been the Holsteiner studbook’s poster boy 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." ~ Holsteiner Verband
Under Rolf-Göran Bengtsson, Casall was one of the highest-achieving horses on the international show jumping circuit, making the top 25 at all major championships, including the 2012 London Olympics, the 2013 Herning Europeans, and the 2014 Caen World Equestrian Games. In Herning, he won team bronze with the Swedish team and placed 4th individually. At Caen, he took fourth place again following a 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 standings, tied with the winner, Scott Brash, and he finished third overall in 2015. In 2016, at age 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. This top athlete ended his career with a bang, 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 very emotional. Casall is a living legend!

Pedigree of Casall
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.
