Genetics

Sire Line
His sire Calando II and his offspring are among the best sires in Switzerland, by Cor de la Bryère.
Palestro II, himself a participant in the 1992 Olympics, has produced excellent show jumpers in Switzerland with just a few products.
Irco Polo, 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.
In the mother line we also find the performance blood of Prince Ned xx and Cavalier by Cardinal xx.
Dam Line
The dam, 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.
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.
