Description

Dakota VDL stands at Hyperion Stud in Virginia, and is one of the only approved sons of Casall in the United States. Among other impressive placings for this young stallion, in the summer of 2014, Dakota won the 6 year old final at Chantilly with rider Darragh Kenny.

Casall's own incredible 2013 record, with rider Rolf Goran-Bengtsson (SWE) includes 2nd in the Rolex FEI World Cup qualifier in Zurich, 3rd with the Swedish team at the EU Championships, and 3rd in the Grand Prix of 's-Hertogenbosch. His 2014 record is no less impressive, with a win at the prestigious Longines CSI Basel and the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix of Chantilly (1.60m). The champion of the recent stallion approval in Holstein was by Casall, and of the 7 offspring presented, 5 were approved. It is apparent that Casall is having a huge impact on the Holsteiner breed.

The Argentinus mare, RMW Estina, is equally successful in sport, having claimed a spot on Mexico's Olympic Team in 2008. With Edoardo Salas, Estina appeared in many qualifying events. She placed 5th in the $500,000 CSI***** Grand Prix of Charlotte, among many other impressive placings, proving again the value of her sire Argentinus as a producer of epic reputation.  Estina has a number of young offspring now in sport showing impressive talent.
