Casall is considered to be one of the most elegant of the Landgraf sons out of one of the most successful Holsteiner mare lines. With his prolific Grand Prix career under Rolf-Göran Bengtsson making debuts at some of the most challenging courses such as the London 2012 Olympics, Herning Europeans, and World Equestrian Games. His exceptional offspring have put him in the top spot on the WBFSH sire rankings for 6 years.
At 18, Casall was retired from competition fit as a fiddle. And this top athlete ended his career with a bang as his farewell involved winning a Global Champions Tour leg in front of a home crowd, all his fans and the Holsteiner breeders – an amazing feat! The expert audience agreed that this could not have been scripted any better. The farewell ceremony directly after the win in front of a teary-eyed audience was again very emotional. Casall – a living legend!
