Candola is an imported Holsteiner, licensed in 2008, and appreciated at the stallion selection for
his fine conformation, presence and good movement. With his superb canter, the stallion showed
extreme balance, a very powerful jump and used his hind quarters very well. In his 70-day test
in Munster Handorf, Candola showed his quality with a third place in class 1, with high notes
for jumping and character. Competing up to 1.40m in Germany before his importation, he has
been competing in North America up to 1.30m. His pedigree reads like the who’s who in show
jumping! Just about every sire in his pedigree competed up to 1.60m, and many in his damline
also had exemplary jumping careers. Candola’s sire is the world-famous stallion, Caruso. Caruso
displayed his fantastic qualities, for example, in the German championships for young horses in
Warendorf, earning a splendid third place in the finals of the 6-year-olds under Ulrich Kirchhoff in
2002. Caruso belongs to the most promising sporthorses of his generation. He has many placings
in 1.50m and 1.60m classes and qualified for the Olympics in Quatar and Lummen. Caruso was
at the Olympics as a team member for Saudi Arabia. With his superb temperament, outstanding
jumping ability, form and can-do attitude, Candola D will make an exceptional cross for North
American breeders.
