About Aldato
Aldato is a (died 1986) dark bay Holsteiner showjumping stallion foaled in 1958, by Anblick XX out of a Fanal dam.
Aldato was a distinguished Holsteiner stallion known for his significant contributions to showjumping. Bred in Neuendeich, Germany by Herbert Kahlke, he was born in 1958 and was approved as a stallion in 1960. He was a product of notable Holsteiner bloodlines, his sire being the Thoroughbred Anblick XX and his dam, Kreta. Throughout his career, Aldato demonstrated immense showjumping aptitude, competing successfully at international levels and earning the title of 'international top-springpferd'.
