Glendale`s sire is the famous Nimmerdor, rated #2 in the jumping index, and his dam is keur preferent Silja, a descendant of the influential Trakehner Marco Polo. His pedigree includes Polaris, who even though he did not live a long time produced a number of well known competition horses including Palermo of the 1972 Olympics.
