CHARISMA, 2007

KWPN recognized
STALLION STAKKATO x CASSINI I

Performance report

Offspring report

A uniform collection of sufficient to more than sufficiently developed foals, with more than sufficient jumper conformation and a downhill body direction. The neck has good length, but the topline needs more muscling. The hind leg is often straight. The croup is repeatedly short. The legs are remarkably clean and of good quality. The canter has sufficient scope, but there should be more articulation of the joints. The trot has more than sufficient scope. The canter has more than sufficient scope with a slightly tight front leg. The foals move with a high croup and should show more body use. The quality of the dams was average. The collection consisted of 16 foals which were invited by the KWPN.
Charisma can improve jumping form and rideability. He is best paired with mares with sufficient "blood".

The legs are well developed and of more than sufficient quality. The hooves are well shaped.
Lineage
Charisma is a son of the influential stallion Stakkato, a very successful Grand Prix show jumper under Eva Bitter. This son of the Hanoverian stallion Spartan is equally successful as a sire. Charisma's dam Cassien is by Cassini I, out of Malva II (s.Literat). Bred to Lord, Charisma's great-granddam Wienerin (s.Cor de la Bryere) produced the approved stallion L’Eperon, whose winnings as a show jumper total €269,000. Vision 3, a full sister to Wienerin, produced the stallions Baldini I and II (s.Bachus), Carano (s.Capitol I), Cavano (s.Capitol I), and Lesotho (s.Landgraf I).
Inspection Report
Charisma is an honest and reliable stallion with a steady temperament, but he needs to show more "blood." He is more than sufficiently willing to work, has good trainability, and a good mouth. The walk has good scope. The trot has sufficient scope. The canter has good scope and more than sufficient power. The stallion moves with more than sufficient body position, balance, and elasticity. The hind leg should step under the body more resolutely. Charisma jumps with good reflexes, very good form, and a somewhat long hind leg. He appears careful and shows abundant scope. Charisma demonstrates abundant talent as a jumper and gives his rider a good feeling.
Stable Behavior
Charisma is an honest and reliable stallion. He is easy on the ground and quiet in his stall.
Veterinary Report
Upon the stallion's arrival, he presented symptoms of widespread dermatitis on his back and ribs. The condition was treated topically and orally.
Semen Inspection
Expected fertility class: sufficient.
Breeding Recommendation
Charisma can improve jumping form and rideability. He is best bred to mares with sufficient "blood."
Dam Report
Cassien is a well-developed mare with more than sufficient rectangular-shaped conformation. This well-built gray mare was presented in excellent condition. The head is attractive with a nice eye. The poll has sufficient length; the head-neck connection is heavy. The neck has normal length and direction with good muscling; the mare has an under-neck. The wither is normally developed but could be slightly longer. The shoulder has normal length and placement. The back has normal placement and strong muscling. The loins are well connected and broadly muscled. The croup has normal placement and length. There is more than sufficient length from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock. The gaskin has normal muscling. The front leg is correct. The hind leg is correct. The pasterns are slightly short but have a normal angle. The hooves have normal shape but little heel. The legs are tight with appropriate circumference and well-developed joints. The walk has sufficient scope and is correct. The trot has limited scope. The hind leg has sufficient push. The trot should have more elasticity. The canter has limited scope and body use. The hind leg should step farther under the body.
