Uricas van Kattevennen embodies the quintessential modern stallion: a perfect blend of directness, elegance and pleasant temperament. Ridden by Harrie Smolders, his Olympic rider, he stands out for his performances at the highest level:

Winner of the Grand Prix 5* at Riesenbeck in 2023 and winner of the Grand Prix at St Galle in the same year. He finished on the podium of ‘ s Hertogenbosch GP5* in Brussels in 2022.

 

His exceptional pedigree reinforces his status as an elite stallion. Son of Uriko, and T Cassina, a holsteiner out of Cassini I and Carentino, Uricas inherits a prestigious lineage. His brother My Way has been ranked 5 times in 160 classes across the Atlantic, and his granddam CHIKA’S WAY, ridden by Janne Friederike Meyer Zimmermann, was a great competitor. Uricas’ mother is its only product. The maternal family is full of famous horses that have shone at 1.60 m, such as Clearway, Conway and Carassina.

Despite his young age, Uricas is already making his mark on the breeding world. His first offspring, promising and talented, stand out for their courage, natural jumping ability and easy temperament. Several of them have distinguished themselves in major competitions, such as the Belgian championships and young horse events, and each year sees the birth of remarkable new foals.

At the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Uricas is one of the three best breeding stallions, a distinction that reflects his immense potential. Well-balanced, courageous and full-blooded, he combines the qualities needed to shine on the most demanding courses with a warm and endearing everyday presence.
