Kryptic is a 2007 colt by Fandango and out of Karoline’s Traum. A very handsome young man, intelligent and sensible. He is our up and coming stallion prospect.

Nice to see your Fandango baby. I bred to him last year but sadly, the mare aborted, so we’ll try again this spring. He gives me something to look forward to, thanks.

I also have 2008 an Tanzeln colt, a huge boy. And am currently riding my Hailo mare at 3rd/4th.

Sadly I lost the last son of Donauwind. He was my best friend and the first horse I trained and showed to FEI levels. I’ve owned and raised Trak’s for the last 20 years.
I can remember years ago working with a member of the Canadian team on a weekly basis. She went on and on one day about how she disliked trak’s and their personalities and the difficulty of working with them etc. This continued until i pointed out the her that my “trak” had the same sire as her Olympic mount, just a different registry.

Wow, it seems like those who ride trak’s really stick with them! I’m happy to say I just purchased my first half trak/irish draft this past week. He’s four and by Summertime in Germany. We are starting him now and planning to try our first lunging attempt today:D

I have my first Trakehner o/o one of my Thoroughbred mares – also a track mare with 4 wins who retired with clean legs. My filly is coming 2 and I’m quite impressed with her. She is very smart, bold and sensible as well as beautiful. She is an Oskar II baby and I’ve enjoyed seeing her mature – never had an “ugly” day. She should be a super ride, although looks like she is going to be too big for me, LOL! I’ve been impressed with the Registry and those who are in office and handled the inspections – very warm and knowledgable as well as sharing their knowledge and explaining their reasons for each horse inspected. My mare scored well, so I was thrilled about, too.

I have a Trakehner mare by Laiken out of Minuett Pg by Fasolt. She’s 20 now and retired, but back in her heyday she competed through PSG with my trainer, and taught me all the FEI stuff. She also scored a 53 at her mare approvals.
My other horse is without papers, but he’s reputed to be Anglo-Trakehner. He sure looks and acts like it, so that’s what we say he is. He’s competing 2nd level.
Between the 2 of them I got my Bronze medal last year.

I have a 5 year old by Hennessy out of a schoenfeld mare…[/QUOTE]

Same cross as my 5yo gelding(although your post was in Dec. so your guy is probably 6 now), and 1/4 TB. He’s still pretty green under saddle but amazingly levelheaded. I’m really looking forward to seeing how much progress we can make this spring and summer.

Also have his mother who’s an awesome mover but very sensitive and not the easiest horse to ride and has taught me a lot about riding tactfully and with clarity.

My Trakehner stallion Emeer is retired from competition at age 24, still lightly ridden because he loves to work. But I get so much pleasure riding his full Trakehner offspring!

Amy, you would be an “ideal” home! But I might have to ship with her since I love California!
My sister and I will be in Santa Barbara for a few days next month.

Penny, you’d love to live here, the weather is wonderful! Come on over.

Baytraks, I have always loved your boy!

I bred mine; 16h blood bay mare by Never n’Ever (TB) out of Heidi by Inspekteur o/ Heraldic. Bred then for a while but went poor. I love the mind and never a dull moment
