Genetics

Sire Line

His sire, Copycat Z, is an easy going stallion that shows excellent reflexes and jumping style. He is currently competing at 1,45m and, with over 60 foals, his offspring show a lot of promise.

The grandsire, Comilfo Plus Z, had a great record with Judy Ann Melchior and Christian Alhmann, up to 1,45m, before retiring to stud duties at Zangersheide.

Comme Il Faut was himself an international showjumping success, having competed up to 1,60m. He is also a great sire, with six of the seven stallions in the first three generations of his  pedigree having competed at grand prix themselves.

The granddam, Carry Z, competed successfully up to 1.60m and produced a long list of successful performance horses.

Both Caretano Z and Cherry Z were internationally successful up to 1,60m.

Dam Line

His dam, Conchita von Hof, is currently competing up to 1,40m with an amateur rider.

The grandsire, 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.

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

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.

The granddam Cormetta is a beautiful grey broodmare. Although she has never competed herself, she shows a light and athletic movement, full of expression. Her offspring show great jumping abilities, with Corvado von Hof competing up to 1,50m. Many of them are ridden by amateur riders at a lower level.

Cormint is an Holsteiner stallion that modernizes mares with his style and conformation, adds blood and improves the scope. He was injured after his stallion testing at 3 years old, having only been placed up to 130. After that, he has had a long career as a sire. His offsprings are auction best-sellers and successful internationally at a high level.
