S.E. Kazando is a third-generation stallion at Stutteri Eken. He was named «Show Jumping Foal of the Year» in Norsk Varmblod among a record number of finalists at the Eliteskuet in 2020, following in the footsteps of his older brother, S.E. Pirouz (Tobajo Picez), who received the same accolade two years earlier. In 2023, his sister, S.E. Zendaya (Montender), was awarded «Show Jumping 2-Year-Old Mare of the Year» in Norsk Varmblod.

Sire Kazan Z – one of the most exciting sons of the legendary Baloubet du Rouet. With Heartbreaker and Ramiro Z on the dam’s side, Kazan Z is particularly interesting to European breeders. His dam’s lineage includes many 1.60 m horses and approved stallions (Etoulon VDL, Divine Hero, Dereusa S, Amareusa S, Sly, Pitareusa, Illusion, Oteusi, Uterusa), and notable offspring such as Broken Heart (1.60 m) and Corleone (1.60 m).

Damline

Diarado – Has over 100 approved sons, more than 45 offspring in 1.60 m classes, and over 100 offspring in 1.50 m classes, earning Diarado a 12th place in the WBFSH ranking of the world’s best show jumping stallions (2023).

1st dam S.E. Miss Pogany RDH – Diarado’s first offspring born in Norway. As a foal, she topped the regional exhibition and was second among show jumping foals at the Foal Festival 2010, with a score of 9 in overall impression. A serious injury as a young horse limited her to just one season of competition, during which she collected about twenty placings up to 1.20 m, including at the National Championship. She ended her brief show jumping career with a notable 2nd place in the Norsk Breeders Trophy for 5-year-olds. As a breeding mare, she has produced three elite show winners out of four offspring, known for creating expressive, curious, and functional horses with excellent temperament and character.

2nd dam Concordia RDH (Corland x Lavallo) – Awarded first prize and named elite mare in Norsk Varmblod. Concordia had numerous wins and placings up to 1.45 m internationally at the age of 8.

Concordia is also the mother of several notable offspring in both breeding and sport. S.E. Chloé (Crelido) was named «Show Jumping 2-Year-Old Mare of the Year» and is the mother of S.E. Estelle (Favorit Ask) – a bronze medal mare in Dansk Varmblod and «Mare of the Year» in Norsk Varmblod 2022 with wins and placings at 1.40 m internationally. Full sister Embla was «Show Jumping 2-Year-Old Mare of the Year» and won bronze at the Hall Championship for 4-year-olds, and is the mother of «Show Jumping 2-Year-Old Mare of the Year,» Candibla (1.35 m). S.E. Chanel (Cristallo II) was sold to the Netherlands and competed, among others, with Sophie Hinners.
