❝ Sire of the French Champion 6-year-old and of the top-ranked 4-year-old in the final SHF Show Jumping standings 2025, EKANO truly stands out through the outstanding quality of his offspring.
A multiple champion himself, he also impresses with his jumping quality, resulting from a rare combination of Europe’s very best bloodlines: Kannan x Cumano x Dobels Cento, three great show jumping champions ranked among the world’s leading stallions.
From his dam line, he has inherited a light, modern and elegant type, along with blood and suppleness, qualities he consistently passes on to his progeny. As such, he unquestionably ranks among the up-and coming sire, on which breeders can confidently rely. ❞
