Empire State is a colt born in 2023, by Ermitage Kalone out of a Concetto damsire. A beautiful horse that pushes off the ground well and gives the rider a very good feeling at the fence. He is honest at the obstacle, shows a good attitude and jumps a big fence with ease, careful and with plenty of scope. He takes a good hold towards the fence and has a calm, friendly character. A horse with potential for the future, suitable from amateur and beginner to semi-professional.
Sire Ermitage Kalone (Selle Français, 2014) is a son of Catoki out of a Kannan dam and jumped internationally up to 1.55m at the highest level under Gilles Thomas: Belgian Champion 2023 in Lanaken, with placings in CSI5* classes in Mechelen and the Grand Prix of Maastricht. He is approved with numerous studbooks (BWP, Hannover, KWPN, Selle Français and Zangersheide) and is a sought-after young showjumping sire.
Damsire Concetto jumped 1.60m and is an approved Oldenburg showjumping stallion, a son of Contender.
The second dam Miss Playback produced a strong jumping family:
Liberty Life (1.60m)
Who Knows Lilly (1.60m)
Lord Pezi Two 2 (1.50m)
Lord Pezi (1.45m)
Chocolate V (1.45m)
A scopey young stallion with potential for the future.
