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.

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.
