Just as in Verden, the Belgian European team champion Ermitage Kalone leads the way among sires with four offspring. Five offspring were presented.

Ermitage Kalone – popular with breeders for good reason

Gilles Thomas’s piebald chestnut Ermitage Kalone not only jumps with fantastic style, exemplary rideability and seemingly boundless ability. He also has a very interesting pedigree, as he traces back to an Anglo-Arabian dam line. This line had already proven itself in the generations prior to Ermitage Kalone as a fertile source of sporting talent and breeding stock.
From Ermitage’s direct dam line alone, eight approved stallions and eight successful sport horses at S-level have emerged up to the fourth generation, some of whom have enjoyed success at the very highest level. The purebred Anglo-Arabian breeding line was first broken by Ermitage’s dam, who is descended from the former WBFSH leader Kannan and thus carries the valuable Furioso II bloodline. Ermitage’s French breeder, Magali Dessalles, opted for a cross with Catoki as a representative of the Cor de la Bryère–Caletto I line. A bull’s-eye. He has been widely used in breeding programmes. The oldest offspring are from the 2018 crop and jump at 1.45 metres. Horsetelex alone records 1,599 offspring of Ermitage, with owners deciding voluntarily whether to register their horses. Among them are 31 approved stallions and eight offspring with international S-level competitions to their name.
