Genetics

Sire Line

Her 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

Her dam 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, competing up to 140 (Conchita von Hof) and 150 (Corvado von Hof). Many of them are ridden by amateur riders at a lower level.

The grandsire 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.

Calido I is one of the most important sires world wide. His personal and offspring (Ex: Coupe de Coeur) performances have stamped both breed and Showjumping forever.

Ilona XV is a full sister to Rodrigo Pessoa’s Carlot and carries herself elite genetics.

The granddam, Cardinale, is sired by Capitol I, one of the best known names in Holsteins show jumping breeding. Never having competed himself, he sired many outstanding international sport horses and breeding stallions.

Vanessa XII is sired by Lord, himself sired by Ladykiller xx. Lord was a successful 3-day horse, having competed up to 140 CIC3*.
