Genetics

Sire Line

His sire HRH Colombardo was a promotion finalist at the age of 4, 5 and 6. At the age of 6, he was already being used successfully in MII competitions by the young rider Chiara Herzog.

His sire Calando II and his offspring are among the best sires in Switzerland, by Cor de la Bryère.

However, this stallion is characterized by the unique performance pedigree in his dam line. Lombarda II, achieved success at advanced level in Germany under Alois Pollmann-Schweckhorst. In Switzerland, she achieved several SI and SII placings as well as victories in Puissances and Six Barres jumping competitions with final heights of over 2 meters. Her first foal was born in Germany, by the thoroughbred Grundyman XX and was later classified in show jumping up to advanced (Sb) level. Two of her foals, Cassily (by Cassini) and Alcagrund (by Alcatraz), became spectacular show jumpers and were successful up to the highest level. Numerous outstanding show jumpers have emerged from the same line, which is cultivated with the greatest attention at Pollmann-Schweckhorst Stud, including the internationally successful Eurocommerce Berlin under Wim Schroeder.

Tafina also produced Lorina GZ with the same sire (Lombard), Swiss Elite Champion in 2002 under Daniel Etter, and achieved several international placings under him. A mating with Lord resulted in the licensed stallion Locarno GZ, who was purchased by Princess Haya of Jordan.

Dam Line 

His dam Dehlia, like her dam Dulina, competed up to 1,20m before becoming a broodmare.

Irco Polo, was internationally successful under Paul Weier, produced several sons in Holland and Sweden, who in turn produced international horses. He also bred excellently in Switzerland and became the father of several advanced level horses.

The grandsire, Karondo vom Schlösslihof, was a swiss bred 1,60m jumper, by Karacondo, himself a 1,40m jumper.
