Cool Jazz is a 2012 Holsteiner Approved Stallion by Colman / Cascavelle / Sacramento Song xx from stamm 238. He was licensed by the Holsteiner Verband in Neumunster in 2014, the following year he successfully completed and passed his Stallion Performance Test in Germany to become fully approved as a Holsteiner breeding stallion. “Cool Jazz is a really interesting stallion for sport and for breeding. We purchased him from the Holsteiner stallion selections in Neumunster where his quality in type, movement and jumping was apparent,” said Hyperion Stud owner Vicky Castegren. He successfully competed in the young jumper classes in Europe and will continue his development in sport in North America.”We feel this stallion will be an asset to North American breeders and are very excited to make him available via fresh collections in 2020,” said Hyperion Stud owner Vicky Castegren.
