Cashmere Blue

Cashmere Blue was a real eye-catcher from his first appearance to the final award ceremony at the Oldenburg show jumping licensing. With his loose, elastic movements, excellent scope, and outstanding jumping ability, he impressed both the judges and the audience and deservedly received the champion's sash.

Cashmere Blue impressively confirmed its exceptional quality under saddle. In the 50-day test, he secured a commanding victory, achieving top marks up to 10.0. His rideability, scope, and style were each awarded a 9.0. For his exemplary character and extraordinary willingness to perform, he received outstanding marks of 9.5 and 10.0, respectively.

With an overall score of 8.86, Cashmere Blue achieved the highest rating of all stallions in the 2025 performance test, impressively underscoring his exceptional sporting and breeding potential. His pedigree boasts a veritable "who's who" of top-level sport. His sire, Chacoon Blue, who sadly passed away far too soon last year, was himself highly successful in world-ranked show jumping (1.50m) and passes these performance genes on to his offspring. 

The dam line (Holsteiner dam line 7126, line of Accord) carries exceptional performance bloodlines. Her dam, One and Only ES by Kashmir van het Schuttershof, showed great promise in her early sporting career, while her paternal lineage with Nabab de Reve and Quidam de Revell suggests great potential. Cumano is the sire of her granddam Isolde, and the pedigree is rounded out with the stallions Chellano Z, Lux Z, Capitol I, and Calypso I.
