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.
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.
Dam Line
Her dam, Coria von Hof, is a very sensitive and big mare. She shows a good jumping technique, she is light and is very easy to ride. She had 2 foals and didn't do many shows until 2022. Coria is competing up to 1,50m internationally and is currently in the hands of Edwin Smits.
The grandsire, Coronino, was an outstanding stallion with various victories and placings up to advanced level, even with young show jumping beginners. His offspring are very successful in sport (up to S***) and breeding, such as Corina, dam of the stallion Cornet to win at the Schockemöhle station.
Corofino won many international show jumping competitions under Valerio Sozzi and was also a very successful sire, producing several international stars. Corrado I won the GP Aachen and various World Cup qualifiers under Franke Sloothaak and also produced numerous international winners.
Nienburg I was the 3-year-old reserve champion of her crop and has already produced many state premium mares and sport horses that have won up to advanced (S) level.
The granddam, HRH Alhandra, was one of our TOP breeding mares, from the same dam as HRH Colombardo, we let an entire sport career pass her by. With her light movement and style she would impress all.
Pik Ayolo was a highly sensitive, extremely capable and very rider-oriented dark brown stallion that competed up to 145.
Lombarda II (B-Legende), 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.
