About Cassini II
Cassini II is a grey Holsteiner showjumping stallion foaled in 1994, by Capitol I out of a Caletto II dam.
Cassini II is a Holsteiner stallion born on 21 March 1994, known for his impact on showjumping breeding without a competition record. J. Hermann Claussen bred him in Neuenkirchen, and he descends from the influential sire Capitol I, who led the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses rankings in the early 2000s. His dam, Wisma, contributes to showjumping heritage as the mother of Cassini I and Clarimo. In 1996, Cassini II received approval in Holstein, with his breeding potential evident despite an early injury preventing any competitive circuit appearances. Initially moved to France in 2003, he achieved popularity as a breeding sire for his modern type and the marked jumping ability in his offspring. Although he lacked a competitive career, Cassini II's genetic impact remains significant, with approval across several studbooks including Holstein, Rheinland, and Hannover.
Cassini II has sired numerous progeny who have excelled in the showjumping arena. His son, Camargue, fetched €230,000 at auction, underscoring the high regard for Cassini II's offspring in the market. Another notable progeny, Centurio, achieved prominence by winning the Youngster Tour Final at CSIO Aachen in 2008. His progeny, such as Caress, have been successful in various prestigious auctions and competitions. Casello, under the saddle of Christoph Barbeau, and Glen Moray also demonstrate the competitive aptitude inherited from Cassini II, highlighting the stallion's continued influence in producing top-level competitors.
