The stallion
Chacco-Blue competed at international level before his death in 2012, but it is as a sire that he changed the sport: he has repeatedly topped the WBFSH ranking of the world's jumping sires, with frozen semen from his limited stock among the most valuable in breeding. His descendants — including horses at championship and Olympic level — have made 'Chacco' one of the most recognisable names in any modern jumping pedigree.
What the line passes on
Chacco-Blue stock is known for enormous scope, strength, and a genuine desire to leave the fences up, often paired with a workmanlike, honest character. They are frequently big, powerful horses that take time to mature, and the best of them combine that power with surprising carefulness. The line crosses well with blood mares, which sharpen the reflexes and lighten the ride.
Buying a horse from this line
A Chacco-Blue offspring is a serious sporting proposition, and provenance matters: with a name this commercial, correct papers and a verifiable dam line are essential. Horses Smith verifies pedigree documentation on every horse we represent, and we produce our horses slowly enough for late-maturing power lines like this one to come right. If you want Chacco blood in your next horse, we can source it honestly.
