Lineage
Back Gammon's sire Montender (Contender x Burggraaf) placed well in World Cup competitions, team competitions, and grands prix.

In 2005, he swept the European Championships both individually and as part of the German team. Back Gammon's dam Paloma is a keur mare by Heartbreaker. Her dam Kyra (s.Ekstein), who boasts the keur and preferent predicates, produced offspring including the KWPN stallion Vincenzo and a full sister to the international show jumper Ivar. Back Gammon's great-granddam Wilda (s.Legaat) is the dam of the KWPN stallion Caruso (s.Notaris). The dam-line also includes daughters by stallions such as Goudsmid and Cobbler's Thread xx.
