Kaiman (Dark Pleasure x Gribaldi, Elite/Pref. x Krack C, Keur) is a proven KWPN performance stallion and an emerging force in modern sport horse breeding. His striking good looks are matched by his level-headed, generous temperament. In the show ring, he is straightforward, confident, and always focused on his rider. He has wins at Fourth Level with scores nearing 74% and schooled Prix St. Georges at home. Kaiman was named the leading USEF Sire for Dressage Breeding in 2025.

As a breeding stallion, Kaiman consistently passes on his trainability and quality gaits, along with his excellent conformation. His offspring are proving themselves to be standout competitors with sweet, willing dispositions. His sons and daughters are winning championships and earning high scores in young horse and open competition alike. He’s homozygous for black and will not produce chestnuts.

The son, Ohio (Kaiman x Grand Galaxy Win), exemplifies this success, originally licensed by the Oldenburg Verband in 2021, then finishing 6th place with 86.40% at the 2024 WBFSH World Dressage Championships for Young Horses (Five-Year-Old Division) and competing in the 2025 Six-Year-Old Division Final—a remarkable achievement on the world stage. 

The two-year-old filly Temptation ISF (Kaiman x Vitalis) was the 2025 Dressage at Devon Grand Champion, Young Horse Champion, and ProElite/USDFBC Filly Champion. Also at Devon, Valentine ISF (Kaiman x Tjalbert 460) was the 2025 ProElite/USDFBC Foal Champion, won the KWPN IBC class with 86.100%, and secured the ProElite/USDF Current Year Foal East Coast Series Final with 84.937%.

KWPN-NA filly Tallulah (Kaiman x Aljano) was First Premium, High Score Young Dressage Horse, and High Score of the Day at her keuring as a yearling. Valour ISF (Kaiman x Sir Sinclair, Keur) was First Premium with 78/84 for 82 at his foal keuring, earning him the High Score Dressage Foal and tying for High Score Keuring. Valour ISF also ranked #7 in the Nation for Foals/Weanlings. Trademark RCF (Kaiman x LaRoche) was the 2023 Champion KWPN-NA Top Ten Hunter Foal and the winner of the 2023 KWPN-NA Hunter Foal Futurity.

With his proven performance, exceptional temperament, and highly successful offspring, Kaiman continues to establish himself as a reliable producer of excellent riding horses. He is approved for KWPN, Oldenburg, and Hanoverian.
