The comments: ‘Stallion with good attitude, canters light-footed and with good balance. Jumps fast with body upwards and with lots of reflexes, remarkably good leg technique, athletic ability and overview. Much to very much talent as a show jumper.

Rock Kattenheye VDL's sire is the stallion Kasanova de la Pomme. He is out of the Mr. Blue daughter Athena van de Donkhoeve and is bred by T. & M. Raman. The comments: ‘Stallion with a light-footed canter in which he changes easily. Jumps with lots of reflexes in the frontleg, body use, athletic ability and lots of talent.’
