Indoctro ♂ †

About Indoctro

Indoctro is a (died 2025) Bay showjumping stallion foaled in 1990, by Capitol I out of a Caletto II dam.

Indoctro is a Holsteiner stallion born in 1990, noted for his lineage from Capitol I and Caletto II. Bred by Gerd Hansen, his potential was quickly recognised by Wiepke van de Lageweg of VDL Stud in the Netherlands, where he developed into a competitor and sire. Under VDL Stud's guidance, he excelled, winning the 1993 stallion performance test and becoming Dutch Champion for 4-year-old show jumpers. His competition record includes a sixth-place at the World Championship for 6-year-olds and victories in Munster, with strong finishes in Bremen and Hamburg. Indoctro's legacy is evident through his offspring, who shine in Olympic and World Championship show jumping events. This contribution to breeding earned him the 'Preferent' title from KWPN in 2006 and 'Keur' designation in 2022. He was ranked 18th on the WBFSH Sire Rankings in 2016, reflecting his global impact.

Indoctro was responsible for siring over 4,335 registered offspring with KWPN, producing champions in the arena worldwide. Notable progeny include the Olympic showjumpers Imothep, Amarillo, VDL Orestus, and Don Porfirio. Casadora, another of his top offspring, captured the CN Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows. Don Porfirio participated at the 2008 Olympic Games and secured victory at the Grand Prix Jalapa, while Valentino Velvet marked triumphs in Grand Prix competitions at Paderborn and Antwerp. Indoctro’s contribution as a sire is pivotal, shaping the performance profiles of many accomplished showjumpers.

Indoctro died in 2025 at VDL Stud, Netherlands (Not specified). Breeding may continue via frozen semen — confirm availability with the stud.
