Almost all get are marked by energetic, swinging movement, and usually also by beautiful heads with good overall expression. If the mare is coarse in some respects, the children also are somewhat.

"Ibikus is one of the most influential sires of the Trakehner breeding since the second world war. Ibikus takes a leading position within the Trakehner population, not only through the amount and the quality of his approved sons and registered daughters, but also with respect to the delivery of Elite Auction horses, stallion-mothers, and successful competition horses especially in dressage."

1957 Grey Trakehner stallion"Extraordinarily beautiful, expressive stallion with Arabian stamp, but in a large format. Very pretty face, much neck, thoroughly sufficient girth; the way of going is elastic and swinging; the stallion shows the best inclination for riding. In his youth he had such a bad accident that his recovery was doubtful. From that he retained a somewhat crooked head carriage which was only noticeable in the stable. From a veterinary perspective, this probably resulted from a hearing impairment from the accident.
A stallion of vast significance not only in the Trakehner but also in Bavarian breeding. Although somewhat nervous and therefore a hard keeper, he did not pass that on. His children inherited a pleasant character, good rideability, and good rhythmic movement. His sons, Flaneur in the Trakehner and his full brother, Mahdi, in the Bavarian breed, took a paramount position."
1964 Chestnut Trakehner stallion"Dependable, balanced temperament; solid in character; Sufficient endurance and nerve, willing worker. Good jumping aptitude with impressive manner.

He sired 4 graded stallions, including PREGELSTRAND, DONAUGLANZ, DONAUSTROM, and PERLENGLANZ, and 31 studbook mares (including Verband Elite mare DONAUQUELLE vom KLOSTERHOF) in Germany before his export. In the US he sired several excellent daughters, including the ATA Elite mare TRAUMFEE and ATA Honor Roll mare PASSION II.
Best example of a Trakehner stallion with chief sire quality. Excellent in type and in conformation. Character-full head; best riding horse neck; well-shaped body; four excellent legs. As a result of a pasture accident as a two year old, his way of going is no longer free and natural. An injury of the tendons in the stifle later became evident. He produces large-framed, character full types with a good way of going and comfortable character."
