Press release from Station Völz:

We are very pleased that we can offer our breeders the highlight of this year's Holsteiner licensing for the 2022 season. Esmeraldo, the son of the internationally highly successful Emerald van´t Ruytershof out of a dam by Caretino / Lord / Landgraf, catches the eye not only with his extraordinary markings. Stephan Haarhoff, the Holsteiner breeding director, described this young exceptional stallion as extremely typical, with an impressive poll carriage and outstanding quality over fences.

The Holsteiner lineage 4847 is maintained by the Meyer family: thus it produced the stallion Cachas and the internationally successful sport horses Cellagon Corray and Cornela - now crowned by the success of the champion stallion Esmeraldo. We thank the Meyer and Meyer-Zimmermann families for entrusting us with this top-class stallion.
