About Stakkato Gold

Stakkato Gold is a dark brown Hannoveraner showjumping stallion foaled in 2001, by Stakkato out of a Werther dam.

Stakkato Gold, born on March 20, 2001, is a celebrated Hanoverian stallion known for his significant impact in the world of showjumping. Hailing from Germany, he was bred by Arend Kamphorst at the stud 'Dree Böken.' Stakkato Gold's lineage is deeply rooted in excellence, being sired by the illustrious Stakkato, a multiple title-winning show jumper, and out of Wertherröschen, who also had an impressive international showjumping career. Stakkato Gold was recognised early on, earning the title of best jumper sire at the 2003 Hannoveraner Körung in Verden.

In competition, Stakkato Gold distinguished himself with victories and high placements up to 1.50m international levels. He achieved remarkable scores early in his career, such as a perfect 10.0 for jumping ability at the 2004 30-day test in Prussendorf, leading to his qualification for the Bundeschampionate in 2006 and 2007. Following an injury that led to his retirement from competitive jumping, Stakkato Gold continued to shine through his offspring, securing his legacy as a breeding stallion. He was honoured as the Hanoverian Stallion of the Year in 2015, underscoring his influence in the sport.

As a sire, Stakkato Gold’s influence is profound. His progeny have consistently reached the top echelons of international showjumping, contributing to high rankings in various sire rankings, including fourth place in the USEF Sire Rankings in 2014. His line is enriched with the blood of influential sires such as Werther, Libero H, and Calypso II, highlighting the exceptional genetic stock from which he descends.

Stakkato Gold's progeny have made significant impacts on the international showjumping scene. Notable among these is Solid Gold, who achieved success at the 5* level and in World Cup competitions under rider Christian Ahlmann. Stargold, another of his exceptional offspring, gained prominence with a team silver medal at the 2021 European Championships and a fifth-place individual finish at the 2022 World Championships in Herning. His progeny’s success in such elite competitions attests to the enduring legacy of Stakkato Gold's influence in showjumping.
