Genetics

Sire Line

His sire, HRH Pik Ayolo, was a highly sensitive, extremely capable and very rider-oriented dark brown stallion that competed up to 145.

The grandsire, Acobat II, was a great stallion with top qualities and a high level of elasticity. He won many young horse jumping competitions, competed at the Bundeschampionat and, later in his career, he was placed in many S jumping competitions. His offspring present themselves in the same type as their sire and many of them were successful in S jumping competitions.

The granddam, HRH Pik Cayola was an Hanoverian grey mare, by Picard, that showed great results in sport, having competed up to 150.


Dam Line

His dam, Canella von Hof, was one of our broodmares that only competed up to 105, before she was sold to an amateur rider in an early stage.

The grandsire Cernunnus von Hof 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 Bryère.

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, Carina, also by Calando II, was a broodmare that jumped up to 120.
