Dam Ulrike is a career broodmare herself, bred Cathalido/Calido I/Corrado I. This stacks the deck for her both in terms of athleticism, power, and grace as she is double up on Calido I – and she does pass his elegance, presence, and powerful canter down prepotently. Stamm 776 has widely been recognized as the leading mareline for sporthorse production; in her immediate mareline alone, there are no less than 14 horses that have shown at 1.30 m or higher. June’s half-sisters Apphia and Brynhilde have won in the 3’3″ and 3′ Green Working Hunters, respectively.

Grandsire Cathalido (Calido I/Carthago) is a gorgeous boy that jumped to 1.60 m in Europe and continued competing in the open jumpers after importation into the US. He is said to add a lovely, more modern type and easy, amateur friendly brains on his offspring and be particularly valuable as a broodmare sire. This makes sense, as Carthago comes through Cathalido’s dam and is particularly renowned as a broodmare sire. In terms of genetics, this means Cathalido (and Ulrike) could have inherited the same sex-gene “X” that Carthago passed on to his daughter! At his performance test, Carthago earned a 9.5 for free jumping and a 10 for jumping talent. He then competed successfully to 1.60 m. He is ranked #24 on the German FN by the Jumping TSP (performance of his offspring in sport) Index with 149 points and a 98% certainty, and #71 on the WBFSH list for Show Jumping Sires.

Grand-damsire Calido I is Cantus/Coriander/Roman which means he carries and interesting doubling of the Holsteiner Roman, who was a cross between an Anglo-Arabian and an old-type Holsteiner mare. Calido I had this utterly gorgeous canter/gallop, rhythmic, rounded, and he jumped smoothly and effortlessly like it was just another stride of his canter. For Ulrike, the doubling of Calido I has brought with it that gorgeous topline, presence, and canter/gallop that Calido I had. She also passes these qualities on prepotently to her offspring. Calido I is #70 on the WBFSH Show Jumping Sires ranking, and #28 on the HorseTelex Jumper Sires ranking. He is the sire of the very interesting Coupe de Coeur, who jumped to 1.60 m and earned over 550,000 euros in a variety of Nations Cups, World Cups, and Grand Prix

Corrado I scored 10s for his free jumping and jumping ability / training at his performance test, along with an 8 for rideability. He ended with a jumping score of 137, the highest of his year and finished 3rd overall. He went on to jump 1.60 m with a great deal of success including winning two World Cup Qualifiers and the German Championship of 1994. His success as a sire is no less than this, with his son Clinton placing fourth at the Olympics in Athens. Clinton ranks #25 on the 2017 WBFSH Jumper Sires Ranking and, in turn, has gone on to sire Cornet Obolensky, who is at #4 on the same WBFSH list. Corrado I is also a great broodmare sire; his legacy of excellence lives on through his daughters, who have sired stallions including Diarado, Quirado, and Cachas.

Sire Credence TSH (Chicardo/Acobat II/Landgraf I) tragically passed away at an extremely young age just as his sport horse and breeding careers were getting started. His sire, Chicardo (Clinton I/Corofino I/Redfort), was successful to the 1.40 m jumpers, won his Holsteiner licensing in 2007 with 52 bonits, and produced over 35 offspring registered with USEF – with at least one actively competing in each of the four major disciplines (Hunters, Jumpers, Dressage and Eventing) as of 2014. Chicardo, in turn, produced NAS approved stallion Carenza TSH, who is out of Pauletta – June’s granddam. This makes Carenza TSH a half sibling of June’s, through the very top and the very bottom of her pedigree. Photos of both Carenza TSH and Credence TSH can be found in the slideshow to the left.
