Breeding recommendation based on the performance test and foals shown
Casago can improve conformation, light-footedness in the canter, rideability,
and willingness in jumper breeding.

conformation. The head is attractive with a nice eye. The poll has good length
with a light head-neck connection. The neck has good length, shape, and
muscling. The wither has more than sufficient to good development and more than

sufficient to good length and more than sufficient to good muscling. The line
from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock should be longer. The
front leg is correct. The hind leg is correct. The pasterns have good length
and are correct. The legs are more than sufficiently developed and of more than

Lineage:
Casago is a son of the top sire Casall out of the prestatie sport
(jump) mare Larthago. This mare was a very successful international show jumper
under Matthijs van Asten and is now an outstanding broodmare as evidenced by
offspring including the KWPN keur stallion Harley VDL, who competed
in Grand Prix show jumper under Jessica Kurten. Other Larthago offspring
include the Grand Prix jumper Hopes are High (s.Highvalley Z), the 1.50m jumper
Cevin Z (s.Coriall), the 1.40m jumper Bruce Z (s.Bachus), and the 1.30m jumper
Colinda Z (s.Caron). Casago's granddam Daisy IV, a Caletto I daughter, is the
dam of the 1.50m horse Casino 14 (s.Cassini I). The dam-line, which continues
with mares by Locarno (s.Ladykiller xx), Kapitaen and Lohengrin, originated in
Holstein.

in his stall.
Veterinary Report:
The high warbling murmur heard during exertion is not caused by abnormal
anatomy or physiology of the pharynx.
Semen Inspection:
Expected fertility class: good.
Breeding Recommendation:
Casago can improve conformation, rideability, and willingness in jumper
breeding.
