Hill Hawk xx was exported to Germany and used in WB breeding. His Oldenburg daughter, Cileste, was the dam of all the Welt Hits–and there were 6 of them. All of his get that I can find are pure dressage, except for a Holsteiner daughter’s daughter who was a jumper in 1999 with Piet Raijmakers, who I’m pure sure is a Dutch BNR; and Hill Anwar. He had a Hannoverian approved son named Hitchcock, who is the sire of dressage horses.
Hill Anwar is registered as an Anglo Arab, but I don’t know if that means the French Registry or something special to Germany. He has a German AA stallion son named Hill Dancer N, who has gotten a 1 & 2* horse, now with a young rider, named Hill Dream. As damsire, he’s got Benedict N, who was was an event horse himself at the FEI level. Benedict N got as high as 3* with a Dutchman named Phiel Plijnaar. Horse did lots of CIC3s, but never completed a CCI at that level. He really doesn’t seem to have been a CCI horse at all. He was 32nd in his one try at a CCI2, which is odd because you’d think the Arab half would make the added distance irrelevant. 
He did win a CCI 1*, for his only win, but he’s got several top ten placings. His last FEI run was in 2006 at the Boekelo ccI3*, and he was eliminated. Hasn’t run since at any level. He apparently started his career as an event horse back in about 1999.
Hill Anwar is damsire of another AA stallion named Darolan Double Trouble who has got one 1* event horse.
Interesting that Hill Hawk, except for the AAs, is found almost exclusively in “pure” dressage horses. Bodes well for that phase, doesn’t it?
Desert Love’s sire Honoured Guest was the sire of an event horse who went to the European championships, the Olympics, and the WEGs for Switzerland. Horse’s name was Gai Jeannot CH. After he retired from the big leagues, he trucked a junior around.
Sir Ivor needs no discussion, but Nagaika warrants a separate mention. She was also the dam of the TB stallion, Connaught by St. Paddy. Connaught is damsire of the Swedish TB stallion Golden Profit, who evented and has an AA eventing son in Sweden. Connaught is also damsire of a couple of event horses who have gone to the Euro Champs for Young Riders for different countries.
Maerchenfee doesn’t appear in my European Produce Reports, so it’s likely that she was used exclusively for AA breeding in Germany. Before going on, her pedigree is interesting in that she has lines to three different Teddy sons–Ortello, Asterus, and Aventin. It’s also interesting in that she has a sex balanced top and bottom double to Prunus, but neither line is to his world famous son, Oleander. I actually don’t recall seeing Prunus before without going through Oleander. So just as a point of interest, that’s one huge one. And thanks for this, since I just realized that Graf Ferry is yet another European stallion from the turn of the century who had a United States TB mare line with quite a few non-GSB mares–including Hunting Squirrel (~1750s) who was an import from Spain or the Spanish Colonies.
Vierzehnender: Sire line is Neckar/Ticino. Staples in German TBs and WBs, and especially good for movement, per William Micklem. Neckar is tail female to the Tesio bred mare, Nera di Bicci, who is out of Catnip, Nogara’s dam (which gets you back again to more U.S. non-GSB lines in European thoroughbreds.) That makes her the aunt of Nearco and Niccolo dell’arca. Nera di Bicci is an excellent dam line, both in Germany and in Italy, but I’ve read that she is pretty much gone in the current German TB population tail female. Interestingly, her sire by is Orby, another turn of the century European TB stallion with a U.S damline with some non-GSB lines in the beginning. (Do you suppose Tesio liked outcrossing with American lines?)
Vierzehnender was the sire of El Paso, a German event horse gelding who represented them at the European Championships in 1977 and 1979. He was the sire of QUICK STAR xx who has four licensed stallion sons, three BaWu and one Bayern. One of Quick Star’s daughters, Quicky, was a Z level jumper and and also did dressage at the Z2 level. Most of Quick Star xx’s descendants have been jumpers, but a number also did dressage. There are a number of approved stallions through his sons’ daughters as well. The Quick Star xx FEI level descendants that I can find have been eventers, though. Quick Star xx is the only stallion son of Vierzehnender with FEI level descendants. All the rest come from Vierzehnender’s daughters.
Vierzehnender as damsire:
Gustav, who represented Canada in Show Jumping at the 1990 WEG.
Olympic Dondolo represented Australia as an individual in the 1992 Olympics in Dressage, was ridden by Sven Rothenberger in the 1994 WEG for the Netherlands, and then went to the 1996 Olympics and the 1998 WEG with a Dutch rider who appears to be his sister (?) Gonnelien Rothenberger-Gordijn.
Bouquet AA is the only stallion with FEI descendants who has Vierzehnender as damsire.
Vierzehnender as 2nd damsire:
Fiona 335–current junior dressage horse.
He’s the fifth damsire of Bergerac 9, a Hannoverian licensed dressage horse who went to the Young Horse World Championships (Verden) in 2010.
3rd damsire through Dascha/Santa Fee of a show jumper and Westfalian licensed stallion, Paramo K, who was showed by Franke Sloothaak.
2nd damsire of an Oldenburger named Granada who is the second dam of the Heraldik stallion son, Hyperion who has evented with the Ostholts. He didn’t get very high, and seems to have vanished. He was a 2001, ran 5 FEI level events in 2008, and then disappeared from FEI records. Eliminated in his only 2*. Granada has a Hanoverian licensed son named Vulkano FRH who was one of Marcus Ehning’s 1.60 meter horses and was VERY good. This guy last showed up in 2009. Granada’s daughter, Athletica, is the dam of King Kobold, SJ, who used to be with Jos Lansinki, and is now showing in the US with Lauren Tisbo. This is a 1.60 meter horse.
3nd damsire of Ilotte, who is the dam of Plot Blue and Oklund, both stallions and both 1.60 meter horses. (Both have a TB damline from a Vierzehnender daughter.) Dascha and Ilotte are out of the mare, Santa Fee; there is another Santa Fee daughter named Weica, who is the dam of a mare named Pershing 23 who went to the WEG for Switzerland in 2002 and then moved to Peter Charles, where she was on the winning British Team in the 2003 Aachen Nation’s Cup. Another 1.60 meter horse. Do we get the feeling that Santa Fee was a damned fine jumping broodmare line for jumpers? And it’s tail female TB
3rd dam sire of Ronja, dam of the Oldenburger dressage stallion Piko Bello who went to Verden in 2002.
3rd damsire of yet another dam of Oldenburger dressage stallions. Quando-Quando went to Hong Kong with a Australian dressage rider. His half sister is the dam of the 2005 approved Oldenburger stallion, Quarterline and the 2008 approved Oldenburger stallion, Balarino.
Honestly I wasn’t aware of Vierzhenender until I looked this up, but he seems to be an excellent multi-purpose Thoroughbred line in German Warmbloods, with some very high level descendants. Very few event horses, though, considering.
It’s Maerchenfee’s dam who has all the Teddy sons.
Aventin is the grandsire of Stern xx who has numerous Trakehner descendants with FEI level credentials. He’s also the sire of Marcio xx who has numerous Hannoverian descendants with FEI level credentials. Sire of Reinald xx who is present in Holsteiners and Trakehners with FEI results. Damsire of Solali who was sent to Poland and has some eventers through both his TB descendants and his Polish WB descendants. Damsire of Traumgeist xx, who has lots of German WB descendants in Hannover, the Traks, and Holstein. His descendants do everything at the FEI level. Through a line of daughters, he is in the pedigree of the German TB stallion, Tempeltanz, and through him some recent Bavarian event horses.
Ortello is the sire of the steeplechaser Sirte, and through him the Clavier line of US hunters. Ortello has a number of Italian TBs, including several sons, who have had FEI descendants. Allgaeu seems to have made no mark in sport horses, though.
Asterus is everywhere in German sport horses. His two most famous stallion sons for sport are Magnat in Germany and Jock in France. Jock is in the lines of show jumpers in particular. Magnat is in the pedigrees of horses who have done just about everything.
Maerchenfee’s dam is as tightly linebred as any TB pedigree in sport that I’ve seen lately. If the purpose was to reduce genetic drift, the breeders certainly should have succeeded, what with all the Teddy and Dark Ronald.
last year, before he was fully approved (I got a special breeding permit based on his performance record). This filly, Takenoko, has a dam that is 50% TB through her dam (Motley xx) and 50% Trakehner through her sire, the international *** eventer El Greco TSF.
