Escamillo

Burg Cup finalist and silver and bronze medallist at the World Championships for young dressage horses

Vice World Champion of six-year-old dressage horses

Escamillo had a dream start as a sire: ten sons from his first crop of foals were licensed in Germany, among them the Hanoverian premium stallion and 700,000 Euro Stallion Market top price Energy, the Westphalian Reserve Champion Stallion Escaneno and our two promising young stars Escanto PS and Expectation PS.

This offspring from Wendel's fantastic line of Cinderella also presented himself brilliantly. “It was fantastic! Very good horse, very good riding”, was the comment of the judges on Escamillo's performance at the World Championships for young dressage horses in 2021 in Verden. With the Spanish rider Manuel Dominguez Bernal, who rides for Helen Langehanenberg's yard, the stallion scored 9.2 for his elastic, diligent and already very well balanced trot, 9.0 for his energetic canter with a pronounced suspension phase and 9.5 for his almost perfect walk with a lot of swing through the body. The judges gave the score of 9.5 for his light and even contact, his smooth transitions, the wide crossing in the half-passes and the very confident and powerful upward flying changes, just as they did for the potential of this dressage highlight.

Escamillo began his career as premium stallion at his licensing in 2017 in Verden, passed his 14-day test in 2018 with a dressage score of 9.08 and completed his sport test in 2020 with Helen Langehanenberg with a winning score of 9.36. Ridden by the Olympic team silver medallist, he also qualified for the German Championships for young dressage horses as a five-year-old with 9.5. In 2021, with Manuel Dominguez Bernal, he won the intermediate (M) level dressage test for young horses in Haftenkamp with a score of 8.8 (also qualifier for the German Championships for six-year-olds).

His sire, the Westphalian and double German Champion Escolar, was placed in the final of the Burg Cup, the final of the Louisdor Prize and at the German Championships with the Olympic Champion and riding master Hubertus Schmidt/GER. They were part of the German Olympic squad.

His dam Verb.Pr.St. Cassila is the full-sister of the licensed stallions Romanist (advanced S* level dressage) and Romeo Niro (intermediate M** level dressage).

His grand-sire Rohdiamant was German Champion in 1993 and competed at Grand Prix level with Lisa Wilcox/USA. Around 50 of his sons have been licensed. His most successful offspring include Valentina Truppa’s/ITA Olympic partner Eremo del Castegno and Helen Langehanenberg’s Responsible OLD.

His grand-dam Chantal is the full sister of Dumont/Juliane Brunkhorst/GER and Hartwig Burfeind/GER, licensed stallion and successful in Grand Prix, and her half-brother Aquavit (by Argentinus) is successful in competitions for young show jumping horses.

De Niro, Landadel and Zeus also appear in the pedigree.

His great-grand-dam St.Pr./El.St. Caruge is the full sister of the licensed stallion Laphroaig/Leporello and produced several state premium mares. Her full sister is no other than the German Champion Mare St.Pr./El.St. C-Dur, who produced four licensed stallions.

Line of El.St. Cinderella, from which descend the five German Champion full siblings Sir Heinrich OLD, Cindy OLD, Candy OLD, Caty OLD and Casey OLD (all by Sir Donnerhall I), the Grand Prix dressage horse Radondo (by Romanov)/Ashley Holzer/USA, as well as the stallions Zymbal I and II (both by Zeus), First Class I and II (both by Furioso II), Sesostris (by Silvio I), Rubino Rosso (by Rubinstein), Castus I and II (both by Classiker), Stiefelkönig (by Silvano), Grand Marnier (by Galoubet A), Pharaoh (by Parabol), RTL (by Rubinstein), Routinier (by Rohdiamant), Solo Hit (by Sandro Hit), Get Smart (by Granulit), Fortune Hunter (by First Class I), Casanova (by Castro) and Si bon (by Sir Donnerhall I).
