The damClintina 8
Clintina 8 brings a strong sport foundation to this embryo. The Colestus daughter was successfully produced in the sport by Johannes Ehning before entering the Ashford Farm breeding program. Her sire Colestus competed successfully at 1.60m level and brings in the highly influential blood of Cornet Obolensky. Clintina 8 is out of Cassandra (Cassini II), an exceptional producer whose offspring are a real tribute to their pedigree. Cassandra produced top level jumper Contago, who represented Mexico at the Paris Olympic Games and the 2026 World Championships in Aachen with Eugenio Garza Perez. Other high-ranking offspring of this mare are Quintini (1.65m – Pieter Clemens, Cian O’Connor, Max Wachman) and 1.45m jumpers Contario 8 and Casalita. With daughter Clintina 8 (1.40m level), Cassandra has produced no less than two mares that feature as dams of embryos in this auction. Cassandra’s sister Contessa 128 further strengthens this exceptional damline as the dam of the legendary Greya, while our broodmare Bonny also traces back to the same family, underlining the depth of performance genetics represented in this collection.
The sireUnited Touch S
Complementing this powerful damline is United Touch S. With Richard Vogel, he has established himself among the very best horses in the sport. With numerous highlights in his career, with in the past two years alone, United Touch S claimed European individual gold, World Championship team gold and earned victories in the World Cup of Basel and the Rolex Grands Prix of ’s-Hertogenbosch and Aachen. United Touch S is by Untouched, a son of Untouchable, while his dam Touch of Class is by Lux Z. Further back appears the legendary Classic Touch, individual Olympic Champion with Ludger Beerbaum. United Touch S is also becoming increasingly important in breeding, with the offspring from his first crops now breaking into 1.60m international level and several stallions earning licensed status. By combining his extraordinary scope, athleticism and championship mentality with Clintina 8’s proven sport family, this embryo brings together two complementary sources of modern performance genetics.
