Sire: Cantus was a monumental grey stallion with outstanding jumping ability which he passed on to his progeny. He left many influential stallions such as Come On (successful international showjumper under HRH Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein of Jordan), Calido I, Cyrano, Cassius Clay, Cristobal (PB. Bavaria, Federal Champion 1994), Canaletto (Federal Vice-Champion 1994) and Cascavelle.

Sire's sire: Caletto I is one of the three famous full brothers. Caletto I (important stallion and international showjumper under Michael Rüping, individual bronze at the Dublin World Championships 1982, currently ranked 5th in the WBFSH world rankings for producing show-jumpers) Caletto II (sensational stallion, considered Cor de la Bryère's best son), and Caletto III (another good stallion and jumper but less significant than his brothers). There is an article about them at Horse Magazine:
Caletto I & II

Sire's sire's sire: Cor de la Bryère was one of the most influential sires for Holstein. He was bred in France with a presence of thoroughbred... He started a new breeding era in Holstein by dramatically improving jumping technique especially in the front legs. Some of his best stallion sons include Corrado, Caletto I, II & III, Calypso I, II, III, IV & V.

Dam: Phaedra was a successful competition horse under her FN registration name “Colanda”.

Dam's sire: Calando I was German showjumping Champion under Karsten Huck in 1984. He also competed internationally as an eventer for many years under Edgar-Henri Cüpper, before returning to Holstein in 1990.

Dam's dam's sire: Consul, valuable son of the thoroughbred Cottage Son, also appears as damsire of Cantus's sire Caletto I. Colando I also carries Cottage Son blood, via his dam-sire Colombo. This gives a triple inbreeding effect of this phenomenal hereditary transmitter Cottage Son.

Dam's dam: Fangelika is also the foundation mare of the approved stallions Carthago and Lord Calando through her daughter Kerrin (by Mambo), and her granddaughter Perra (by Calando I). In a mating combination with Caletto I, Fangelika produced the approved stallion Celio, and together with Caletto II, she produced the internationally successful competition sports mare Ulika J.

The maternal line, Stamm 162, has also produced top competition horses and stallions including Santiago 3 I (world vice-champion eventer under Helmut Rethemeier), Sando Khan 2 (Grand Prix dressage under Harry Boldt), Foliant 6 (successful eventer under Dietmar Hogrefe) and Madrigal (individual bronze & team silver winner under Karl Schultz at the 1976 Montreal Olympics), Lacros (world famous sire of showjumpers), Feinschnitt I (Olympic competitior), Feinschnitt II (USA), Wendulan (LdB Celle), and others.
