Stamped by his TB anchestors, Clarimo demonstrated his outstanding canter and his impressive free jumping ability at his first appearances. His jumping quality is not due to random luck as Clarimo’s bloodline combines the outstanding performance genes of the stallions Capitol I and Caletto II with those of the mares Wisma and Wodka, who have both produced several outstanding jumpers during their career at stud.

Wodka by Lord has also produced the licensed stallions Clearway, Conway I and II and Arturo, as well as the mare Carassina, the 2009 winner of the German Jumping Derby under Thomas Kleis. In his first competition season with Janne Friederike Meyer, Clarimo stood out as a serial winner of young jumper classes at L and M level.

He won the 6-year-old Jumper State Championship and qualified for the National Championships. Since the end of 2012, Rolf-Göran Bengtsson has got the ride on him. The 2015 competition season yielded numerous international top placings in 1.60 m classes held in Lyon, Vienna, Rome, Cannes, and Gothenburg. Winning the 2016 Falsterbo CSI5* Grand Prix has been Clarimo’s greatest success so far. Moreover, his achievements include winning the team jumping competition at the GCT’s Doha leg and placing at s’Hertogenbosch, Hamburg, Paris and Valkenswaart.

The first Clarimo offspring born in 2007 are already attracting attention on the international show jumping scene. Chardonnay has results to 1.60m classes under Max Kühner and successfully competed in the Sopot and Linz-Ebelsberg Nations Cup competitions as well as in World Cup and Global Champions Tour competitions. Demonstrating excellent jumping qualities during the 2016 season, Cielito Lindo by Clarimo is another up-and-coming young horse at Max Kühner’s stable. Cynar VA demonstrated his ability by winning the Saugerties New York Grand Prix under Jessica Springsteen.

As much as nine Clarimo offspring have been stallion graded in Holstein, one of the most successful being Crunch, an exceptionally talented jumper who is being produced for higher levels at Rolf-Göran Bengtsson’s yard. Clarimo’s sire, Clearway by Capitol I, has FEI placings with Lars Bak Andersen, for example at the Neumünster and Braunschweig Grand Prixs. Clarimo’s dam Wisma has made breed history through her licensed sons Cassini I and II. Cassini I in particular was one of the most soughtafter sires in the Holsteiner breeding programme.
