Longchamps TSF by Sir Shostakovich xx out of Luana by Patron. Ridden by Germany's Marina Köhncke, Longchamps was also an elite riding horse in Medingen in his younger days. He moved on to win the CCI** Lion d'Angers, France and placed at several CCI***, including the events in Boekelo, The Netherlands, and Luhmühlen, Germany. In 2002, he competed for Germany at the Sydney Olympics. In 2003, this great bay was retired at the show grounds in Luhmühlen. In the spring of 2006, the life of this extraordinary Trakehner sport horse ended. Photo by Jacques Toffi.

Kaiserwalzer by EH Consul out of Kavallina by EH Ravel. Kaiserwalzer was approved in Neumünster and immediately placed with German National Team member Andreas Dibowski for training. Kaiserwalzer showed great talent from the very beginning, qualifying twice for the National Event Horse Championships in Germany and moving on to his first CIC* and ** season in 2003. The stallion showed through CIC*** and CCI** in Germany and was sold to Spain by the end of 2005, only to continue his eventing career there.

Windspiel by Hyalit out of ES Wundermädel xx by Madruzzo xx. Windspiel was the Trakehner Horse of the Year in 1997 and competed successfully up to CCI*** level. She was the best German bred horse at the CCI*** Luhmühlen, Germany, finishing 7th in the international field and winning a bronze medal in the German Championships there. Windspiel is a maternal half sister to the approved stallion Windfall, which highlights the fact of the mare Wundermädel xx being a unique producer of great event horses, since three more siblings from different sires (Buddenbrock, EH Tuareg and EH Sixtus) have excelled in this sport. Windspiel today is retired at stud and is a Trakehner Verband elite mare.
