Breeding

Her sire Eurocommerce Berlin consists of the best Holstein show jumping lineages combined with a powerful damline. Berlin was one of the best show jumping horses of the Dutch team and proved his metal in the finals of the European Championship. His sire Cassini I (by Capitol I) caused sensation in the international show-jumping sport under Franke Sloothaak. And in breeding Cassini I has been as successful, with a series of offspring active in the international sport such as; Ingmar, Coco, Cumano, Carino and Olympic. Remarkable also is the fact that Berlin’s dam Estia (by Caretino) has been successful at the highest level of showjumping under her sporting name Cathleen W ridden by Marc Wirths. Her grandam Ostia (by Freeman xx) became world-famous under the name of Frimella. Ridden respectively by Alois Pollmann-Schweckhorst and Willi Melliger, this noble mare cantered many laps of honor. After her sports-career Frimella produced, among others, the international show-jumping horse Lorina II (by Lombard).

The family of Berlin, Holstein lineage 890, is one of the most successful sport lineages in Holsteiner breeding. Other reputable members of this family are for instance the famous Grand Prix show-jumpers; Casall, Feodora, Crocodile Dandy, Corinessa, Quebec, Tinkas Lad and Caitano.
