Canturano

Canturano I (born 2003) is a bay Holsteiner stallion standing at 1.72m. In 2026, he is officially recognized as one of the world's leading sires of international showjumpers. After a legendary career that saw him become a "HLP-Sieger" (Stallion Performance Test winner) and a competitor on the global stage, he is now an elder statesman of the France Étalons and Haras de la Vie rosters.

Canturano's career was defined by a level of technical perfection that reset the bar for Holsteiner breeding:

• HLP Champion: He was the undisputed winner of his 70-day test in Adelheidsdorf, finishing 1st out of 32 stallions with a jumping index of 135.20. Remarkably, he received a perfect 10.0 for his jumping quality and technique.

• The Eurocommerce Era: Under riders like Gerco Schröder and Wout-Jan van der Schans, he was a standout performer in the stallion circuits and international young horse classes before his sport career was shortened due to the high-profile liquidation of the Eurocommerce stable.
