Lantino

1st Reserve Champion 2008 in Holstein

A stallion with a seldom found multi-talent, enormous charisma and a gorgeous silhouette. Lantino was the Reserve Champion of the 2008 Holstein licensing in Neumünster. The viewers were thrilled by his excellent trot and he was the strongest moving stallion in his age group. His canter and walk are exemplary and his jumping is distinguished by great caution, ideal ability and a very good technique. At his 30-day test which he took the end of 2009 in Schlieckau, Lantino prevailed over all of the 42 participants, finishing as the best jumper stallion at the test with an unbelievable weighted overall score of 9.36. The ability, technique and bascule of this youngster all earn the best scores. In 2010 he passed his 70-day test in Schlieckau with outstanding scores in jumping but was schooled in dressage first and placed among the best in tests for young riding and dressage horses. Meanwhile he has also won and placed in tests for young show jumpers in novice (A), elementary (L) and medium (M) level. A good number of his offspring have been awarded premiums.

His sire, Landos, a son of the stallion of the century, Lord, sired countless top performance horses. The dam's sire, Caretino, who was also successful in international show jumping, belongs to the circle of established Holstein Verband sires. He is one of the most versatile sires of his breed, producing horses that reach upper level dressage as well as upper level show jumping, a fact that has been reflected for many years in the German FN's predicted breeding value statistics.
