Genetics

Sire Line
The sire, Darwin Z, is a Zangersheide stallion that has achieved multiple successes in the 1,35m tests in the past year with Joe Clee.
The grandsire, Dominator 2000 Z (by Diamant de Semilly), has excelled numerous times on a podium, to which his victories in the CSI5* Grands Prix of Stockholm, Doha and Hamburg bear witness. He has over fifty approved sons and nearly ten 7-year-olds already at 1.45m level.
The granddam, Carry Z, is an high-legged and high-blooded mare that has jumped at the highest level with Judy Ann Melchior. She is also the dam of chestnut stallion Copycat Z, the Comilfo Plus Z son, who was bought by Evergate Stables and is creating a furore under Harrie Smolders.
Caretano Z was one of the most promising sport horses of his generation with a lot of potential for the big sport. When he was 7-yr-old he won the prestigious WC for young horses in Lanaken. He then continued to make a magnificent début in the international showjumping sport until he had a fatal rupture of the loin that brought his career to an end. His offspring dominate in showjumping competitions.
Cherry Z (Carthago Z) who jumped at 1.50m with Judy Ann Melchior, but she’s also the dam of the Artos Z mare Aida Z. This Aida Z in turn is the dam of the grey stallion and Chellano Alpha Z son Cosmos BH, who is active at 1.60m level with American lady rider Mimi Gochman.
Dam Line
Her dam, Ofira von Hof, was only used late in the sport. She impressed with her outstanding jumping ability and her attitude to jumping. After competing up to 1.35m, she began her successful breeding career.
The grandsire Ogano Sitte is a strong-build, well-conformed stallion with an enormous fighting spirit and excellent attitude. Under Dominique Hendrickx, he has achieved international success at 4-star level and won the 1.60 m Grand Prix CSI**** in Naples. Also, over 60 of his offspring have made it into the big sport and impress on the international stage.
Darco won all the major prizes and was seventh in the individual classification at the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona, making his mark on the international show jumping scene.
The granddam, Cat von Hof is a talented jumping mare, who competed internationally in children's tests with a young rider and achieved classifications up to category R/N130.
Cernunnus von Hof CH, 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.
Calando II and his offspring are among the best sires in Switzerland, by Cor de la Bryére.
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.
