Crossing advice

Berlin is just as powerful as his sire Cassini I, who was responsible for some of the Holstein Verband’s greatest years. Berlin has long had very average fertility, but has nevertheless been a real success at stud with 106 international competitors at 1.55 m and over. Crossbred with a light mare such as Heartbreacker or Quidam de revel. It will improve gallop and power while maintaining dressage.
