Sire: Eurocommerce Berlin
Dam: Zaffier x Casco
KWPN 528003200909596
Stallion born 22 May 2009 Grey - To make 170cms


Sire Eurocommerce Berlin (Cassini I x Caretino) needs no introduction. In 2006, at the W.C. in Aachen, Eurocommerce Berlin jumped a super double clear as the anchor member of a superb Dutch team to secure the gold. His rounds from this and many other shows are watched again and again, with the sheer scope and talent of Berlin showing through. This prove himself; this grey stallion personifies everything that a horse needs to become a super star. A brilliant pedigree, matchless performances in the arena and offspring of which he may be rightly proud. Numerous are the breeders who are proud of their Berlin foals and many are the owners of a young Berlin. The road to success in sport and breeding is via Eurocommerce Berlin!
In 2011, the KWPN audience watched as 9 young potential stallions came forward to be graded - the highest number of any sire with offspring at the finals, with an exceptional 4 going on for final testing. Eurocommerce Berlin’s sire Cassini I was, in his years in sport, the trump card of the German/Frisian international rider Franke Sloothaak. The pair won, among other things, the Grand Prix at CHampion Gelderland, the former CSI at the national sports centre in Papendal and the Grand Prix at CSI Modena- the pet project of Luciano Pavarotti the tenor who died in 2007. Cassini’s sire, Capitol I, forms the genetical bottleneck where the stallion line of the legendary Cottage Son xx had to squeeze through to have the space to broadly spread out for a second time throughout the breeding world. Cassini’s dam, Wisma, is from the small stock 3389 that, since Cassini I, has received more interest from the Holstein breeders. Except for full brother Cassini II, out of this stock Caleri (sire: Calido I), Cassaro (sire: Coronado) and Lovari (sire: Lasino) have since been licensed. From the point of view of sport, Eurocommerce Berlin's dam is just as interesting. His dam Estia (out of the famous Caretino) was the show jumping horse of both Aloïs Pollmann-Schweckhorst and Marc Wirths. However, these international riders brought her out under other names: respectively Coba and Cathleen-W. Pollman-Schweckhorst rode her grandam Ostia as well and also using another sports name: Frimella. From her stock 890 also come, among others, the show jumpers Crocodile Dandy of Alison Firestone and Feodora of Fritz Fervers. In November 1997, Eurocommerce Berlin had a good test as an unlicensed stallion in Adelheidsdorf; in the jumping index he scored 133.21 points and thus, in this section, came in second place just behind Acorado who has since also become equally famous. After successive approvals in both Holland in March 2003 and, under his former name Caspar, in Oldenburg in January 2005, Eurocommerce Berlin- ridden by Gerco Schröder- established his reputation by contributing to the winning of gold medals by the 'Oranje' team in both the WC in 2006 (Aachen) and at the EC in 2007 (Mannheim). The WC gold was sufficient to give him a permanent license by his stud book of birth, Holstein. The EC gold was the icing on the cake.



Dam Sire Casco The stallion Cascavelle is also the father of the approved Holstein stallion CIA ( m.Latus II). Cascavelle has in his pedigree Cor de La Bryere and on the damside he is related to the stallions Lord Calando and the stallion Carthago Z.The father of Cascavelle is Cantus, who is also the father of the Calvaro V (Willy Melliger). The dam of Casco is a daughter of the stallion Landlord, whose offspring are very wellknown international jumpers. Casco was as a 3 year old approved by the Holsteiner studbook and the KWPN studbook. Casco showed in 2002 and 2003 at the KWPNstallioncompetition a very good jumping technique and he got awarded a 9 score, from Albert Voorn, silver Olympic medallist in Sydney, at the first KWPNstallioncompetition. In 2001 Casco presented a very good group of offspring at the offspringevaluation of the KWPN:
