About Aldato

Aldato is a (died 2012) dark bay Holsteiner showjumping stallion foaled in 1958, by Anblick XX out of a Fanal dam.

Aldato was a Holsteiner stallion born in 1958, known for his substantial role in showjumping. Bred by Herbert Kahlke in Neuendeich, Germany, he was sired by the Thoroughbred Anblick XX and had a dam named Kreta. Approved as a stallion in 1960, Aldato excelled in international competitions, earning the accolade 'international top-springpferd'. Throughout his career, he stood at various stud stations across Germany, producing 145 FN-registered offspring, underscoring his impact on the Holsteiner studbook. Characterised by his dark bay coat and height of 161cm, Aldato passed away in 1986. His legacy endures through his progeny's accomplishments in showjumping, having moved extensively across breeding locations, thereby extending his influence among European horse breeders.

Aldato was responsible for producing several notable showjumping horses over his lifetime. His lineage includes noteworthy competitive offspring such as 'Crazy Madam', who achieved significant success in the amateur and professional showjumping circuits, including winning a $10,000 Amateur/Owner Jumper Class at Wellington in 2005. Another successful progeny is 'Blast Off (NED)', who finished second in the $20,000 SHF Enterprises 5YO Eastern League Young Jumper Championships Finals at the Hampton Classic Horse Show in 2005.
