Introducing Crocus-STX Van Kattenheye ✨
An elegant dark bay filly. Athletic in her type and refined in her expression, she combines two world-class performance lines and carries all the qualities to grow into a true sport horse of the future.

🌟 Sire: Catoki 🌟
A proven star at the very highest level, Catoki shone in International 5* Grand Prix sport with victories across Nations Cups, World Cups, and top-level Grand Prix. After his illustrious career, he turned to stud where he quickly became just as successful. Ranked among the world’s leading sires, Catoki stamps his offspring with balance, elasticity, a brilliant mindset, and undeniable quality.

His progeny include some of today’s top performers:
• Catch Me If You Can – WEG Team Bronze with Laura Klaphake, Nations Cup winner Aachen
• Contanga 3 – Podiums in CSI5* Paris, Chantilly, and Mexico with Alberto Zorzi
• Catypso – 1.60m with Eric Navet
• Catwalk 22 – 1.60m with Laura Kraut
• Miss Catoki, Cool Down, Campbell, Keoki, Catinka, Catover, Amsterdam 27 – all 1.60m performers worldwide

Catoki foals are highly sought-after, achieving top auction prices across Europe, and he is already the sire of more than 30 approved sons. With a pedigree of winners and a reputation for producing brilliance, Catoki continues to rise among the elite sires of modern show jumping.

🌟 Dam: Amaryllis (Cumano × Darco) 🌟
Amaryllis herself is a proven international Grand Prix mare, having competed at the very highest level with Pedro Veniss, including the FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington 2010. Alongside numerous podium finishes such as 3rd place at CSI5* Madrid and 2nd at CSI4* La Coruña, she showed the grit and scope to succeed on the global stage.

Her pedigree is equally outstanding: by the legendary Cumano, World Champion and Olympic medalist, and out of Darco, one of the most influential sires of all time. This makes Amaryllis not only a mare of top sporting ability but also a broodmare of exceptional depth.
