Sire Olivi is a Jazz son and also the sire of Iron Spring Farm's UB40. Olivi was the
Reserve Champion of his Performance Test Ermelo 1999 From his performance
report;
Olivi is an honest, reliable stallion. He is very willing to work and works well.
The walk has scope, tact and is well carried. In the trot Olivi has good scope, tact and
balance. He trots with good horizontal balance. The canter has scope and is well carried.
Olivi should carry himself better through the transitions. Olivi has a great deal of
aptitude for dressage and gives his rider a more than adequate to good feeling.

Dam Polina is by Olympic Lancet - Lancet descends from a
valuable, exemplary combination of bloodlines from the legendary Hanoverian Breeding
Station Stedebergen: Wenzel I x Shogun xx. His sire Wenzel I produced expensive Verden
Auction horses as well as Bundeschampions. Besides Lancet, his most famous offspring is
the World Cup Finals’ winner Walk on Top (Louise Nathhorst). Lancet is a highly refined
dressage stallion thanks to his thoroughbred dam sire Shogun xx and comes from a first
class dam line. His grand dam Anika is a full sister to Argentan I (Hanoverian Stallion of
the Year 1994) and Argentan II. They represent the same line as DLG-Champion mare
Goldlady, who is the queen at multiple elite mare shows. Her sons Frenchman I and
Frenchman II are highly asked for sires. In Holstein, this Mare Family carries the number
8777 and also produced the top class half brother Calvin Z, Lansing, and the shining star
Cantus, who are all outstanding jumper sires.
Lancet participated in the 2004 Olympics and placed 11th individually and 4th in team
placement riding for the Netherlands. In 2005, Emma Hindle and Lancet had their
first show season together and placed high at the CHIO Aachen. In 2006, they were the best
performing British pair at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen. 2006 season highlights
were the victory in the Grand Prix and Special at the CDI Fritzens and the win in the
Grand Prix and a second place in the Special at the CDI Stadl-Paura. An absolute highpoint
of the year was the 5-year old Uzzo becoming World Champion at the 2006 World Young
Dressage Horse Championships in Verden. Uzzo is by Lancet out of a C-Indoctro dam and was
ridden by his owner Patrick van der Meer. Lancet’s first crop of foals in Germany
produced many highly placed premium foals. HIs dressage index stands at 143 with 79%
reliability
And then there is Doruto......... polina's dam, Enalina, hails from some of the most
sought after bloodlines for dressage - Doruto x Amor and her line is full of predicates.
Her dressage breeding index of 2007: KWPN fokwaarde
dressuur 134 39%. Having Doruto this close up in
a pedigree is becoming more and more difficult to find. Doruto is considered to be one of
the most influential dressage sires of all time. Unlike the Amor offspring who were flashy
and showy from a young age, the Doruto offspring were often plain in appearance, with
common heads and ordinary movement. However, as these offspring matured, their desire to
please the rider and ease in the FEI movements became apparent. Gert van der Veen
described Doruto offspring in an article for a Dutch magazine. "The Doruto offspring
have such a character. Even though they are not duds, they allow themselves to be worked-
they do not oppose to the input of the rider. One of the essential traits for a dressage
horse is that he must be able to easily handle the physical demands of the sport... They
are very trainable. They allow themselves, some a little earlier than others, to become
gymnasts. They don't break down mentally and they stay happy." Some of the notable
international Doruto offspring from the 1980s and 1990s include Ideaal (ridden by Jo
Hinneman, trainer of Olympic Ferro, to numerous German, European and World Championships),
Olympic Barbria (1996 Team Silver Medal at the Olympics), Urion, (ridden by Nadine
Capellmann, World Champion) and Heruto (Grand Prix horse under Coby van Baalen).
Doruto was the leading Dressage Sire in the World Breed Rankings for
1998/1999 for his best achieving descendants.
Polina was imported from Holland as a yearling by DG Bar Ranch.
