Me
Used to compete our Trakehner stallion but he has now retired from competition tho at the mature age of 22 is still breeding and gets ridden now and then.
Now compete one of his daughters, though she is out of a Hannoverian mare.
Also have ridden various others of his offspring.
Have a lovely yearling grand-daughter of his waiting in the wings that I am eyeing up as my next riding horse…unless i get too good an offer to refuse 
Anissa, you have even me beat! I have:
Broodie by Ith out of Casino mare
Anglo-Trak Broodie by Pennant
Gelding by Graditz E out of my Ith mare
Mare by SWB out of my Ith mare
Filly by Contucci out of my Ith mare
Mare by SWB out of Inspekteur mare
Mare by Lafleur out of Casar mare
Mare by Kobolt out of my Pennant mare
Coming Soon:
Colt by Contucci out of my Ith mare
Colt or Filly (?) by Special Memories Pg out of my Pennant mare
I ride vicariously 
the gelding who is an eventer and was just named ATA Reserve Champion HOY for Novice Division; and the Inspekteur/SWB mare who is a jumper and was just named ATA Champion HOY for the Level 1-2 Jumpers and Adult Amateurs Jumpers.
I LOVE my Traks!!! (Sorry for the Big Brag but I’m SO proud of them!)
OOOhhhh… the SM foal o/o the Pennant should be something special! That will be interesting to see. What are you secretly hoping for? a boy or a girl? (beyond the healthy/happy etc LOL)
I had one for 12 years. Sadly he died this past October. He was a fabulous horse. He had been poorly started (ridden incorrectly in draw reins) which made him resent collected work but he was amazing in the hunt field.

If so -
What is the breeding?
What level are you working at?
Post a pic of your boy/girl?[/QUOTE]
Our guy Meisterwind is 100% Trakehner. He is by Donauwind, out of Magissa by Mahagoni. He competed through GP Dressage and is retired now to a life of romancing the ladies :lol:
Pics of him on our website in sig line.
I presently have a few too many as well, so here goes by age:
Babylon; bay mare, soon to be 21, By Peron out of Baroness by Sedan, she was one of the best junior amateur jumpers that this area has ever had. Many kids competed on her, and most of them brought home Champion ribbons.
Pr. St. Zaubermaus, black mare, by E. H. Tambour out of Zaubernacht by E. H. Caprimond, 7 years sold, green broke, but was Champion of her SLP in Germany with a score of 8.0.
Zauberteufel, black gelding, by Waitaki out of Zaubermaus by Tambour, 3 year old, just started under saddle.
Tequila, bay/black gelding by Elkadi II out of Terra Prussia by Graciano, 2 year old.
Zayla, black weanling filly, by Titulus out of Zaubermaus by Tambour.
Anissa, I am not so secretly hoping for a colt out of my Pennant mare. I do love my mares, but geldings seem to have a bigger share of the market. Does anyone know what the odds are of getting a gray? Mare is dark bay, as was Pennant and her TB dam.
Bogie, very sorry for your loss. The ones that come with baggage are even tougher to lose, I think. How wonderful that you found each other and he was able to do something he loved.
I owned a full sister to Pennant. Her name was Pyrrha and she died at age 8 three days after foaling. I loved that mare dearly, and I will never have another one like her.
I think that you have a 50/50 chance of grey unless SM is homozygous??? I have no idea if he is or not.
I really like/love my Pennant mare - more than I thought I would actually. She takes a while before she figures you are “her person” but once you have her you have her 100%. I was very very lucky to get her!! She’s going to Horalas this year and I’m kind of excited to see what that produces!
I don’t believe getting a grey is possible unless one or both parents are grey also. Pennant sure was a fabulous horse, though! I have quite a “collection” of horses also, but only one is TK and one is an approved Thoroughbred mare. The rest are Thoroughbreds and one Oldenburg yearling gelding. I believe I have 12 in all plus one boarder. Not a fun time of year to have that many!
Merry Christmas to all!

PS Say a prayer for my close friend’s Inspecteur (TK) gelding, who is a fabulous dressage horse that she bred and trained, has just been diagnosed with EPM.
I started off my dressage life 20+ years ago with a half-Trak by Troubadour. His other side was Clyde/Tenn walker (!) but luckily he moved and looked just like a big Troubadour (17.1 and 1600 lb). Took him from a green broke 5 year old and we made it to I-1. Unfortunately, he had COPD and cushings (and absolutely refused to eat pergolide regardless of the form) and he died a couple years ago.
Now I have 3 full Trakehners:
Schiffon Ps by EH Anduc out of Surprise by Mago xx. We compete at PSG/I-1 and are schooling GP. I absolutely love this horse.
Pr. St. Viva Vanessa by Ursprung out of Vanezia by Wakond (Arogno) out of Vanessa by Ibikus. Her granddam Vanessa is the dam of EH Van Deyk. Viva Vanessa is now in foal to Schiffon. She’s currently in light work and after this foal we’ll show her. Really fun and comfortable, she scored ~7.8 at her MPT. She was bred and started by Dorothee Schneider.
Viva Vanessa’s weanling filly by King Arthur, named Vivianne. Scored 27 at her foal evaluation. She’ll also be bred to Schiffon when the time comes then I think she’ll be a big time dressage horse.
Expecting another Trak in the spring by Schiffon out of my well bred and great moving PSB thoroughbred by Harbor Man (who goes back to Ice Capade and First Landing) out of a mare who goes back to Bold Bidder. My mare is line-bred (3x4) Turn-to.
Have 2 half-Trak babies by Schiffon (branded ISR/Oldenburg). One named Schigazzo who is out of Aragazza (Rohdiamant-Andiamo-Welt As) and was a premium colt. The other is named Scharlotte who is out of Wasilida (Woronow-Donnerhall-Feiner Stern). She’s had health problems, unfortunately so not sure how she’ll do in the long term.
Most of them can be seen at www.glamorganmanor.com although the site could use some updating!
I have the outstanding honor and privilege to be the human companion and riders of three outstanding Trakehners:
Happy Hour - THE horse of MY lifetime (schooling PSG)
Induc - Happy’s sire - German Bundeschampion (with scores of 10’s) and still strutting his stuff at 18+… (the “schoolmaster”)
Perfect Hour - Our lovely 5-year old (16.3) boy by Happy Hour out of our lovely TB mare who tragically departed from this world WAY too young – a wonderful meshing of world-class, old line Trakehner bloodlines with superb quality TB lineage. His mom was an incredible, kind and vibrant lady whom we loved dearly and greatly miss – she is in our thoughts and hearts every day. He’s still growing and we’re taking our time – “hurry up slow”… 
(1st level)
Why didn’t I see this sooner?
Gigi is my first WB and my first Trakehner after a couple Thoroughbreds. I am so enamored with this horse and the breed. I love the look of them, the pureness of the breed, the versatility, the temperment - so cool and smart about it all (although I was forewarned these were “hot” horses) mine most certainly is not, and of course the movement, which I must saw is absolutely jaw dropping (as in goose bumps!).
She is a full reg’d Canadian Trakehner by the sire Herder (Amiego), I would have to look up her Dam side. I purchased at 2.5 and we are still going strong 3 years later (though I will admit she’s in her teenage “make me work” years!) When she is good, she is GOOD…when she is bad, she is STUBBORN. She will most likely go into Hunter/Medals or Dressage, but has a full sister that is an upper level Eventer (CCI 1*) as well as many other successful relatives.
10 year old chestnut mare
stallion was Bonn out of an approved thoroughbred mare.
showing 1st and schooling 1st and 2nd.
I met and married my first Trakehner some years ago, my mare by Pregelstrand out of a TB. I bought her as a broodmare prospect, never got a foal, but had so much fun riding her that I would happily pay 5 times her price for her again. She taught me more than all other horses of my life except one, and unlike him, hers were positive lessons. The week before her death, she and I had our last ride in the pasture. Chrissy was still athletic at age 27, supple, ever demanding that I do it right, but awesome when I did. Road workers were patching potholes that day, and they kept stopping to stare. It started out as “oh, she rides ENGLISH” looks, but rapidly became, “OMG! I’ve never seen a horse move like that!” One week later, she was fine one night, down the next morning in her field. I made the call and sat with her while waiting, and after eating a last peppermint, she slipped away with her head in my lap. Totally peaceful, just going to sleep. She was almost gone when the vet got there, and he gave her just a small final boost over. She converted me for life to the breed.
Since then. . .
Chestnut mare by Vincent out of a Pregelstrand mare. Pasture sound, my foundation broodmare. She has given me two different but neat colts by Paramoure, both sold. She is currently allegedly not in foal to Khalif.
Cleveland Bay/Trak cross. My main riding horse, and the supreme diva of the pasture. Everything in her life from her movement to her herd attitude is extravagant. A lot of fun, but always watch her, because she is always watching you.
Black mare by Veneziano out of a TB. Permanently retired due to dislocated fetlock, but the more I see her, the more I wish I could ride her, not just breed. I already have a name picked out for her first filly, whom I will name in honor of my Mom, and that filly will be a keeper. This mare and the Vincent mare will be bred in 2009 for more Traks.
And most likely coming soon to a pasture near me, but deals aren’t fully finalized yet, so I’m afraid to say absolutely: Two more wonderful Traks. One would be a fun riding horse for me; I am about to arrange a preliminary look/ride in spite of pretty lousy pictures because her video reminded me of Chrissy. If she in fact in the flesh and under saddle reminds me of Chrissy, I will buy her. The other hopeful newcomer in the next several months would be my best broodmare to date.
There’s nothing like a good Trakehner.
I have a 5 year old by Hennessy out of a schoenfeld mare,starting his pregreen year in the hunters,one Tycoon baby on the way.It seems Traks still have a stigma in the hunter world but I’m a big fan!
The sire of the foal that is in the belly is a gray (Special Memories) so she has a 50/50 chance of gray - I don’t think he is homozygous.
Jingles to your friend’s horse. I HATE EPM!!!
I’m waiting for mine to get to riding age!
2 broodmares, Holme Park Venezia by HG Solomon x Vabanque (Consul), currently in foal to a coloured stallion for a partbred 2009 foal, but will go back to a Trakehner stallion next year
Harmsworth Elfinesque is just a 4yo, by Tycoon x Elfennymphe (Consul). In foal to Herszendieb for 2009 and then will be backed.
The babies
Volatis Elfentime by Latimer x Harmsworth Elfinesque (Tycoon). Beautiful little filly foal, really athleic little mover
Volatis Valiant yearling gelding by Ivernel x HP Venezia (HP Solomon). Exquiste, will be shown in hand this season
Volatis Casiphia yearling filly by Tycoon x Fleet water Caprice (Achtermann). Champion Junior dressage foal across the whole of the UK last year. Destined to be a broodmare - breed the best ride the rest!
Volatis Cosmopolitan a part bred yearling filly from the same mother line as Casiphia by festivo x Cover Girl (Guter Stern). Strong little powerhouse
Volatis Cleio part bred 2yo coloured filly by Ringo x Fleet water Caprice (Achtermann). Neat little filly, with super movement. Will be backed next year and I cant wait. She has such a super brain.
I have a riding age son of Oskar II (out of Maskottchen) who is registered Oldenburg, but is 100% Trakehner on both sides. He’s 6, and I was also forewarned about the “hot Trakehner temperment”, but Oliver is anything but hot. he’s easily one of the most laid-back horses I’ve ever owned, and is super-easy to train. The most wonderful thing about him is that he LOOOOOVES to jump, especially xc! He hasn’t been at it that long, but he shows quite a fondness for it and is a blast to ride. He’s an absolute sweetheart, very forgiving, and nothing phases him - loves to trail ride, splashes through water, loves to have his head scritched.
If Oskar babies are all like this, I’d buy another one in a heartbeat. I’ve waited my whole life for this horse!
Oliver trotting
Oliver jumping stadium
Oliver jumping xc
Oliver galloping
Uh, well, I have to say, Oskar pretty much rocks. I DREAM of having a foal by him. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like I’ll have a mare to breed him to anytime soon. I am thrilled to death with my Paramoure gelding. He is smart as a whip, easy to train, is VERY affectionate and does a darned good job of putting up with mom (ME). I love him so much!!
