DREE BÖKEN-BRED STAKKATO GOLD – NOW AMONG THE WORLD’S TOP SIRES
Stakkato Gold has been among the leading stallions in the German FN breeding value evaluation for many years. In the latest 2025 FN evaluation, he is once again listed among the top 5% of jumping sires for the highest level reached by their offspring and among the top 1% in the FN tournament sport breeding value. Now, according to De Paardenkrant, he has also reached No. 6 in the HorseTelex Results A-ranking.
The Dutch equestrian newspaper De Paardenkrant has taken this as an opportunity to publish a detailed portrait of Stakkato Gold and his breeding history.
Stakkato Gold was born at Dree Böken in 2001, bred by Arend Kamphorst out of Wertherröschen (Werther × Libero H × Calypso II). Wertherröschen later competed internationally up to 1.55m with Michael Whitaker and Billy Twomey.
At the Hanoverian licensing in 2003, Stakkato Gold became a premium stallion and was considered the best jumping stallion of the licensing. He was sold at the following auction to Gestüt Sprehe.
According to De Paardenkrant, 139 of his offspring competed at FEI level during the past twelve months. One of the best known is Stargold with Marcus Ehning, winner of the 2023 Rolex Grand Prix of Aachen.
Jan Sprehe calls Stakkato Gold a true “stamp stallion”. His offspring are often easy to recognise: modern, quick, careful and light-footed. He is 25 now and still active as a breeding stallion so there are hopefully still plenty of Stakkato Golds coming through! https://www.gestuet-sprehe.de/de/pferde/stakkato-gold.html
