Dakota 2016, T. Sugitani (JPN)

Dakota VDL is an expressive stallion who jumps with a very good technique, has a light footed canter and has good reflexes. 

Sire Casall won several Grand Prix’s and is now breaking through as sire. Following the sire line we find the great Holsteiner sires Contender, Landgraf I and Capitol I who all brought famous offspring like Checkmate, Libero H, Cardento and Indoctro.

His dam, Naomi II, is a full sister of the BWP approved stallion Cicero van de Helle and Oklahoma- the mother of the approved stallion For Fashion. His granddam Walline is also granddam of the approved stallions Cassus and Conan de Hus and of the international jumpers Corland, Corradina, Landetto, Leuthen I and II.
