Sire Cassini I is one of the cornerstones of modern Holsteiner breeding. He competed himself at 1.60 m Grand Prix level and became hugely influential worldwide. Cassini I produced top international performers such as Catando Lyngriis (1.70 m), BB Casablanca (1.65 m) and Casilla (1.65 m). He is renowned for passing on scope, reflexes, mentality and a powerful canter.
Vanessa VA is a grey broodmare, correctly built, with very good gaits and a big, balanced canter. She moves and jumps with quality, shows blood and athleticism and has a natural way of using her body. She produced a foal in 2025and has not been bred again, making her a unique opportunity for breeders who want full control over their breeding direction.
She is suitable to carry a foal herself, and is also highly interesting for embryo transfer and/or ICSI, allowing the breeder to freely choose the stallion and deliberately shape the breeding product.
The damline of Vanessa VA is exceptionally deep and packed with international sport horses and approved stallions. Dam Vanessa III (by Landgraf I) competed at 1.45 m level and is a key mare within this family. From this line come:
– Calato (Capitol I), approved Holsteiner, SBS and Zangersheide, 1.40 m
– Balougirl (Baloubet du Rouet), 1.45 m
– Donald Z (Diamant de Semilly), approved Zangersheide, 1.45 m
– Karamba Z (Kannan), 1.55 m, CSI4*/CSI5* level
– Serafine de Poteau Z (Solid Gold Z), 1.40 m
– Notre Dame II (Cassini I), 1.60 m
– Lupidor (Lux Z), 1.45 m
– Wallstreet (Voltaire), 1.50 m
– Captur (Berlin), 1.45 m, CSI2*/CSI3* winner
– Calandro (Carthago), approved Holsteiner and ZfdP, 1.40 m
– Wanessa I (Cormint), 1.45 m
– Cronus VA (Carthago), 1.50 m
– Cutie VA (Cassini I), AES approved, 1.30 m
Further in the pedigree we find legendary names such as Verdi TN (1.60–1.70 m), Café de Paris (Casall, 1.45 m, approved), Supertramp SR Z (1.45 m) and Holy Key (1.50 m). This family is known worldwide for its toughness, durability and consistent top-level performance.
Vanessa VA is a broodmare of exceptional genetic value, descending from one of the most proven performance families in modern showjumping. A rare opportunity for breeders aiming to build their own breeding program on a foundation of proven sport and approved stallions.
