Genetics

Sire Line

Her sire Cernunnus von Hof had a brilliant career and successful in Grand Prix nationally and internationally. He was even considered "The jumping miracle from Switzerland" by Hans Britze, the breeding director of the ZfDP (Zuchtverband für Deutsche Pferde). His offspring are also successful at international and Grand Prix level.

The grandsire Calando II and his offspring are among the best sires in Switzerland, by Cor de la Bryére.

The granddam, Palmira von Hof, at the age of 11 recorded over 75 SI and SII classifications under Sandra Puttalaz (amateur) and a total lifetime earnings of over 31,000 CHF. Palestro II, himself a participant in the 1992 Olympics, has produced excellent show jumpers in Switzerland with just a few products.

Dam Line

Her dam Cleopatra once the star of our farm, was a beautiful trustworthy mare with a lot of scope. Although she only competed up to 130, the best thing about her was her character. She would never turn down a challenge and it was rare to go to a competition where she wasn’t highly placed, even when ridden by children.

The grandsire 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.
