Escamillo bay Rhineland Champion stallion, by BundesChampion Escolar/Rohdiamant/De Niro, born in 2015, standing approximately 167 cm or 16.2 hands.

The silver and bronze medallist at the World Championships for young dressage horses

“What an amazing performance,” the judges praised Escamillo's performance in the World Championship final for seven-year-old dressage horses in their commentary, “we love this horse and see a very big future in him.” Once again, Escamillo received dream scores at this prestigious meeting of the world's best young dressage horses. 9.5 for trot and perspective, 9.0 for walk and canter, 8.5 for submission - and a fantastic 91 percent and the bronze medal. The year before, Escamillo, ridden by the Spanish rider Manuel Dominguez Bernal, who rides for Helen Langehanenberg's yard, had already received scores of 9.0 and higher in the World Championship’s arena, earning him the silver medal in the six-year-olds class.

Breeding-wise Escamillo also puts one exclamation mark after the next behind his hereditary power. He has already produced over 30 licensed stallions, among them the Neustadt Champion Stallion Element of Crime, the Hanoverian Premium Stallion and 700,000-euro Stallion Market top price Energy, the Westphalian Reserve Champion Stallions Escaneno, Espléndido MT and Excalibur as well as our stallions Escanto PS, two-time stallion performance test record winner, Expectation PS and Escamour, the stallion performance test winner Eleven HW and the bronze medallist of the Hanoverian Championships, Estupendo. The German and Westphalian Champion Eivissa ridden by Jessica Lynn Thomas/SWE stands out amongst his first sport offspring. She received a 10 for both trot and canter and a 9.5 for rideability and conformation in Warendorf. Embolo, third in the “Westfalen-Wappen” class at the “Turnier der Sieger”, achieved the sensational knockdown price of 590,000 euros, the highest price ever achieved by a riding horse at a Westphalian auction. Eyecatcher W won the Austrian Warmblood Championships for three-year-olds in Stadl-Paura/AUT. Escamillo’s daughter, Exclusive, won the Herwart van der Decken Show in Verden.

Escamillo began his career as premium stallion at his licensing in 2017 in Verden, passed his 14-day test in 2018 with a dressage score of 9.08 and completed his sport test in 2020 with Helen Langehanenberg with a winning score of 9.36. Ridden by the Olympic team silver medallist, he also qualified for the German Championships for young dressage horses as a five-year-old with 9.5. In 2021, with Manuel Dominguez Bernal, he won the intermediate (M) level dressage test for young horses in Haftenkamp with a score of 8.8 (also qualifier for the German Championships for six-year-olds). The same year, Escamillo was awarded the Weltmeyer Prize by the Hanoverian Association.

His sire, the Westphalian and double German Champion Escolar, was placed in the final of the Burg Cup, the final of the Louisdor Prize and at the German Championships with the Olympic Champion and riding master Hubertus Schmidt/GER. They were part of the German Olympic squad.

His dam Verb.Pr.St. Cassila is the full sister of the licensed stallions Romanist (advanced S* level dressage) and Romeo Niro (intermediate M** level dressage).

His grand-sire Rohdiamant was German Champion in 1993 and competed at Grand Prix level with Lisa Wilcox/USA. Around 50 of his sons have been licensed. His most successful offspring include Valentina Truppa’s/ITA Olympic partner Eremo del Castegno and Helen Langehanenberg’s Responsible OLD.

His grand-dam Chantal is the full sister of Dumont/Juliane Brunkhorst/GER and Hartwig Burfeind/GER, licensed stallion and successful in Grand Prix, and her half brother Aquavit (by Argentinus) is successful in competitions for young show jumping horses.

De Niro, Landadel and Zeus also appear in the pedigree.

His great-grand-dam St.Pr./El.St. Caruge is the full sister of the licensed stallion Laphroaig/Leporello and produced several state premium mares. Her full sister is no other than the German Champion Mare St.Pr./El.St. C-Dur, who produced four licensed stallions.

Line of El.St. Cinderella, from which descend the five German Champion full siblings Sir Heinrich OLD, Cindy OLD, Candy OLD, Caty OLD and Casey OLD (all by Sir Donnerhall I), the Grand Prix dressage horse Radondo (by Romanov)/Ashley Holzer/USA, as well as the stallions Zymbal I and II (both by Zeus), First Class I and II (both by Furioso II), Sesostris (by Silvio I), Rubino Rosso (by Rubinstein), Castus I and II (both by Classiker), Stiefelkönig (by Silvano), Grand Marnier (by Galoubet A), Pharaoh (by Parabol), RTL (by Rubinstein), Routinier (by Rohdiamant), Solo Hit (by Sandro Hit), Get Smart (by Granulit), Fortune Hunter (by First Class I), Casanova (by Castro) and Si bon (by Sir Donnerhall I).

Escamillo war 2017 der erste Sohn des Escolar, der auf einer Hannoveraner Körung vorgestellt wurde, und er verließ Verden als Prämienhengst! Er war dort sicherlich einer der bewegungsstärksten Junghengste und war von Anfang an vielbesprochen und sehr beliebt bei der Züchterschaft.

Seine 14-tägige Veranlagungsprüfung im April 2018 in Neustadt/Dosse beendete der Youngster mit der gewichteten Gesamtnote von 8,35 und der dressurbetonten Top-Endnote von 9,08. Damit war er in beiden Kategorien Zweitbester in dem 37 Hengste umfassenden Feld. Die Einzelnoten: Interieur 9,00, Charakter/Temperament 9,00, Leistungsbereitschaft9,00, Trab 9,50, Galopp 9,50, Schritt 8,50, Rittigkeit Bewertungskomission 9,00, Springanlage Freispringen 6,50, Rittigkeit Fremdreiter 9,50.

Camillas Vater Escolar ist unter Hubertus Schmidt inzwischen siegreich bis Grand Prix international und stürmte als Vererber gleich mit seinem ersten Zuchtwert von 169 Punkten an die Spitze der FN-Zuchtwertschätzung.

Die Mutter von Escamillo ist die Rohdiamant-Tochter und Verbandsprämienstute Cassila, die aus dem berühmten Stamm der Cinderella aus dem Hause Wendeln kommt, einem der besten Stämme Deutschlands. Zahlreiche gekörte Hengste, Staatsprämienstuten und erfolgreiche Sportpferde gehen auf ihr Konto. So z.B,auch Cathy OLD, die 2018 unter dem Sattel von Hermann Gerdes Bundeschampionesse der vierjährigen Reitpferde (Stuten und Wallache) wurde.

Cassilas Mutter Chantal (v. De Niro) ist Mutter der beiden gekörten Hengste Romanist(* 2007, erfolgreich bis Dressur der Klasse S*, Prix St. Georges) und Merogonie (*2005, erfolgreich bis Dressur der Kl.M**). Beide haben Rohdiamant zum Vater.

Chantals Mutter Caruge (v. Landadel) ist u.a. Mutter des PB Dumont (v. De Niro). Der 1999 geborene Oldenburger war platziert in der Dressur bis zur Kl. S***.
