Genetics

Sire Line

Her sire 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.

Dam Line

Her dam, 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.

The grandsire, 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).

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.

The granddam 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.

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 sired several advanced level horses.
