About Salito

Salito is a bay showjumping stallion foaled in 2001, by Stakkato out of a Calido I dam.

Salito is a Hanoverian stallion born in 2001, known for his exceptional showjumping abilities. He is celebrated for placing first in the jumping category of the Hannoverian 300 Day Test in 2004 with a remarkable score of 133.31. Salito's proficiency as a showjumper is further highlighted by his accolades in free jumping and jumping technique, scoring over 9 in multiple categories.

Originating from the prestigious Landgestüt State Stud in Celle, Germany, Salito comes from a lineage of renowned showjumping horses. His sire is the legendary Stakkato, and his dam is Celine Dion. Salito's bloodline is enriched with influential names such as Cantus and Calido I, contributing to his prominence in the showjumping sphere.

Throughout his career, Salito has achieved significant successes, including being crowned the Hannoverian Jumping Champion in Dobrock in 2006 and competing in the Bundeschampionat in 2006 and 2007. His athletic capabilities have made him a sought-after stallion for breeding, especially for the free jumping championships.

Despite Salito's own impressive jumping career, research into his notable showjumping offspring competing at top levels such as CSI5* has not yielded substantial findings. His progeny, such as 'Savanna VS' and 'Sam', have shown potential; however, their achievements at the highest echelons of showjumping are not documented in the current resources available.
