His grandmother is none other than Kira XVII, who has become famous far beyond the borders of Holstein through her son Casall and who, with this bay, can boast a grandson who is currently enjoying success in sport: We are talking about Diamant de Casall by Diamant de Semilly-Caretino (Manfred von Allwörden, Grönwohld), line 890. Riden by Richard Vogel, he won a 1.45-metre show jumping competition in ’s-Hertogenbosch.
For Freedom EKT by For Fashion–Carthago (Reimer Rolfs, Norderwöhrden), line 1298, was once successful with Mathies Rüder; among other achievements, the pair enjoyed success at the German Youth Championships and the Show Jumping Derby in Hamburg. The stallion is now being successfully ridden by Piet Raijmakers Jr. – they took third place in ’s-Hertogenbosch.
The Livello-Casall son Leviathan HS (line 741) was born at Gunnar Mohr’s stud in Haselau; his breeder is Jan Herbert Detjens (Seestermühe). HS stands for the Hyperion Stud in the USA, which he represents under his rider Lars Bak Andersen (DEN). The pair have already achieved very good placings this year: in Neumünster, Gothenburg (SWE) and now in Oliva (ESP) – fourth place over 1.45 metres.
