The pedigree of Eurocommerce Berlin consists of the best Holstein show-jumping lineages combined with a powerful dam-line. Sire Cassini I (by Capitol I) caused sensation in the international show-jumping sport under Franke Sloothaak. And in breeding Cassini I has been at least as successful with a series of offspring active in the international sport such as Ingmar, Coco, Cumano, Carino and Olympic. Remarkable is also the fact that Berlin?s dam Estia (by Caretino) has been successful at the highest level of show-jumping under her sporting-name Cathleen W, ridden by Marc Wirths. This mare definitely did not get her jumping genes by accident. Her grand-dam Ostia (by Freeman xx) became world-famous under the name of Frimella. Ridden by respectively 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 sports-lineages in Holstein breeding. Other reputable members of this family are, for instance, the famous Grand Prix show-jumpers Feodora, Crocodile Dandy, Corinessa, Quebec, Tinka's Lad and Caitano.

Note the unmistakeable similarity of Berlin's pedigree to Cloverlone's stallion Qui Dandy Windsor Z! Qui Dandy's dam is by Cassini II out of a Caretino mare. Berlin is by Cassini I out of a Caretino mare. Both stallions have the same family, stam 890. The stam connets at the mare Kamille (1951) v. Maki I - Mirte who had two daughters: Sekunde and v. Galapeter I and Bizarre v. Cromwell.
