Kaspareit

1977 Chestnut Trakehner stallion
OSB-E-S172, height 16.3H, girth 76.0", bone 9.0".
Bred by O. Langels, Gestüt Hämelschenburg, FRG; Last owned by Dancing Fields Farm.

Approved at Neumünster in 1979, Kaspareit was imported to the United States in 1980. The German Stallion Book provides the following remarks:
"Tall, strong, broad and deep. Good neck set and harmonious overall impression; good movement. Significant breeding stallion type of high quality."
Due to an injury received in importation, he started his competition career late. He was competed through Intermediare I and evented through Preliminary, and schooled in all the FEI movements. Unfortunately, complications arising from his earlier injury forced his early retirement. He was recognized in the 2000 book Trakehner Hengstregister as one of the limited list of stallions who have been successful in sport, acknowledging his successful dressage career through "S" Level. Standing at Gay McCall's Dancing Fields Farm in California, Kaspareit became one of the most popular Trakehner stallions in North America.

Kaspareit died in March, 2002, leaving behind one ATA-approved son, PARAMOURE, and many young offspring yet to be inspected and prove their value in the performance arena.

height 165 cm; girth 193 cm; cannon 21.1 cm.
Bred by U. Poll, Hörem, FRG.

Gunnar was performance tested in 1964 at Westercelle, and the German Stallion Book provides the following comments:
"Good character, balanced temperament, hard constitution. Responds to all ridden cues very willingly, easily and comfortably. Walk sufficiently good, trot good with extension. A stallion with much expression and dryness. Expressive face, good neck; much shoulder; in all quite compact. The front legs could be somewhat sturdier, formation of the hocks is satisfactory. The stallion goes somewhat wide behind, the hooves somewhat close together; way of going is very swinging, although not quite correct.

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.

Upon his death, the following remarks were added to the German Stallion Book, along with the updated list of his approved sons and registered daughters:
"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." (Lars Gehrmann 1997)

Bred by Eugen Wahler, Klosterhof Medingen at Bad Bevensen.

Approved at Neumünster in 1972 with the comments: "Excellent overall impression in the best breed and stallion type; good head and neck, good body, four good legs, very good canter and trot; only the walk left something to be desired at the inspection for approval and prevented him from being classed higher."

Impuls

1953 Bay Trakehner stallion
height 164 cm; girth 197 cm; cannon 22.0 cm.

Impuls is a son of the great HUMBOLDT, who was the first-place winner of the 1951 DLG at Hamburg and the sire of 8 approved sons and 48 studbook daughters. Impuls' dam ITALIA 54 is a legend in her own right. She received scores of 1, 2, 0/0, 1 (where "0" is the best possible score), made the "trek" from East Prussia despite shrapnel in her hind leg, and founded her own mare family (from which our mare, ITAMIGNON, descends), dying at the age of 18 after giving birth to her last foal.

The German Stallion Book provides as follows:
"Strong, important breeding stallion with good stallion expression. Noble, character-full head; well-set and well-carried neck; good in the withers and shoulder; very beautiful in the topline; especially muscular, well-formed croup; excellent hocks, just a bit straighter than ideal. Well-formed knees; short sturdy cannons; well-muscled forearm; front pasterns somewhat upright, the hooves having a slight tendency to contracted heels. Straight, very swinging way of going. In all a very correct breeding stallion.

He is paramount in the production of good broodmares with much substance, best foundation and good character. Some sons are valuable breeding stallions, and some children have excelled in competition, both in jumping and in dressage."
Considered by many to be the most important sire post World-War II, Impuls left to the breed 17 approved sons and 117 studbook mares, including the Verband Elite mare SCHWALBENLIED, at his death in 1976.

Chestnut Trakehner mare

Kassandra is a daughter of the stallion SPORN, who was bred at the Main Stud Trakehnen, sired 3 graded sons and 20 studbook mares, and is featured in the book Hauptbeschälerbuch Trakehnen ("Chief Sires at Trakehnen"). Her dam is the immortal KASSETTE, a grey mare foaled at the Main Stud Trakehnen in 1937, by the Arabian Harun Al Raschid ox. Kassette's pedigree can be traced back to 1780 and she is the founder of the largest mare family within the Trakehner breed. She survived the "trek" and at Trakehner Stud at Rantzau, helped to revive the Trakehner breed in the period following World War II, until she died in 1966 at the age of 29.

Kassandra was a foundation mare of Gestüt Webelsgrund at Springe. IMPULS sired 10 of her 12 foals, and her sons included the stallions KADETT, KAPITÄN, KARNEOL, KASSIUS, and the Olympic competitor IMANUEL.

Maharadscha

1957 Grey Trakehner stallion
height 166 cm (16.1H +); girth 185 cm; cannon 20.5 cm.
Bred by G. Hoogen, Vogelsangshof, Rheinland.

Maharadscha won Second Prize at the 1962 DLG Exhibition in Munich. He was of vast importance to the Trakehner breed in the post-World War II period, as a grandson of the extremely significant Arabian stallion Fetysz ox. Maharadscha sired 11 graded sons and 82 stud book mares, including German Elite mare ABIZA (dam of ABDULLAH). He improved the herds of his own stud as well as the State Studs at Birkhausen and Rantzau, in addition to Gestüt Schwaighof. The German Stallion Book lists the following comments:
"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."

height 167 cm (16.1H 1/2"); girth 192 cm; cannon 21.1 cm.
Bred by K. Rosenau at Brunstein.

Champion at the Neumünster approvals in 1967, the German Stallion Book provides the following remarks:
"Dependable, balanced temperament; solid in character; Sufficient endurance and nerve, willing worker. Good jumping aptitude with impressive manner. General performance ability good; good ground-covering walk; elegant trot; rear legs could have more angle. Balanced, ground-covering canter.

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."
Morgenglanz was performance tested at Westercelle in 1968. He stood at Hunnesrück and Klosterhof Medingen while in Germany. Morgenglanz was imported to the US in 1978 and stood at Edith Kosterka's Trakehner Gestüt Wayne until his death in 1987.
