Lineage:
Hardwell is by Clinton I (Carolus I x Calypso II), who competed at the Grand Prix level under Thomas Voss.
Hardwell's dam is K-Jil (s.Corofino). Bred to Calido, she produced the Grand Prix horse Cezanne 30, first shown by Norway's Connie Bull and then by Saudi Arabia's Kamal Abdullah Bahamdan, who competed the horse in the Global Champions Tour and the WEG in Kentucky. K-Jil is also the dam of Testarossa (s.Concept), who qualified for the Bundeschampionat for five-year-olds. Hardwell's granddam Fonda I is by the G.Ramiro Z son Romino, who often appears in the dam-line of good jumpers. Hardwell's great-granddam Ithaka (s.Martell II) produced 1.40m jumpers by Le Grand and Lacato, and a Small Tour horse by Farnese.
