This long lined stallion shows good reflexes and is a careful, supple and scopey jumper that earned praise for his excellent character and willingness to work at his stallion performance test. 
He descends from a sport proven mareline, his dam, Pherna by top sire Calvados having competed to 1.60M herself. Combina is a stallion that has spent more time in the sport vs the breeding shed; in his limited amount of offspring he has an excellent strike rate as a producer of upper level show jumpers. According to a recent article from the KWPN, nearly 28% of Combina's offspring has jumped to 1.30 and higher, ranking him 6th among all KWPN stallions. He transmits his excellent canter and balance to his offspring, as well as top jumping capacity and a modern jumper type.

 

The dam, Quartz F.M. is a daughter of Kannan, who in 2015 is the #1 sire of Show Jumpers in the WBFSH Sire rankings.  Kannan is the sire of the current World Cup Champion, with 4 of his offspring  in the top 13 for prize money won internationally.
Quartz F.M. was bred by Francois Mathy, and is a KWPN Star predicated mare, with great scores for scope and technique over fences.  Her foals are of the highest quality, excellent movement, good minds, scope and big talent over fences.
She is also is the mother of Stevie Wonder, Champion of his 4yr old year in the Canadian Young Jumper series.
