Sherlock van’t Huka has the profile of a future top breeding stallion, impressing with type, elegance, and a modern, athletic appearance. The outstandingly talented jumper, a son of Catoki, already demonstrated his exceptional jumping ability, excellent temperament, and strong willingness to perform during his performance test. His lightness, athleticism, and quick reflexes promise a bright sporting future.
In 2025, Sherlock van’t Huka made a strong impact under saddle. At just seven years old, he achieved multiple placings in S-level jumping competitions* with rider Tobias Meyer.
He particularly stood out at high-profile competitions, delivering consistently top performances, including at the Agravis Cup in Oldenburg, where he performed excellently in all three classes and placed in each. His composure, scope, and strength made him one of the most notable young stallions of the event.
As a sire, Sherlock van’t Huka is equally impressive. He produces striking, lively, and modern foals, known for long legs, harmonious conformation, and elastic, appealing movement. His offspring present with type, correctness, and presence—qualities that already mark him as a promising breeding stallion.
His sire, Catoki (by Cambridge), has long been one of the most renowned jumping sires worldwide and is a reliable producer of international 1.60 m horses. Catoki is currently highlighted by his exceptional son Ermitage Kalone, who, under rider Gilles Thomas (BEL), ranks among the best show jumpers in the world. Numerous other offspring compete successfully at the highest international level, emphasizing Catoki’s extraordinary ability to transmit scope, technique, and attitude.
Sherlock van’t Huka’s dam, Birmingham from Zellik, produced the 1.45 m-level performer Igor van’t Wannehofwhen paired with Calato. The dam sire Thunder v/d Zuuthoeve is one of the most influential performance sires and is the sire of international top-level horses such as HH Azur, Fleur de L’Aube, Turbo Z, Excenel V, and J’adore v/h Klinkhof. The pedigree is further strengthened by Skippy II in the third generation, himself successful up to 1.60 m.
