The Trakehner in Show Jumping - Part IV -

Long Deal (ex Parus) by Alarm II out of Pajacha by Hockey. Long Deal was born in Russia, but is sired by the East German Trakehner stallion Alarm II, who was leased to the Russain Kirov Stud in the 80s. One of the most conistent upper level show jumpers in Germany at National Level in the past years. Ridden by Jochen Fromberger, he is stable mate to the equally talented Beg xx-son Sky Dancer, like Long Deal an approved Trakehner stallion.

 

 

 

Balisto Z by Suchard out of Bernina V by Anduc. Balisto was approved in NMS under the name Babelsberg in 1995 and was awarded the best jumper prize in combination with a premium title for his overall quality, because he not only convinced over jumps, but also with his excellent, ground-covering movement. Balisto was sold to Denmark but his international career as a show jumper started in Italy, where he competed for the famous designer Benetton. Balisto won the Grand Prix in Midena and cometed for the Italian Nations Cup team several times before finally in 2003, the world-famous breeder of show jumper, Blegium Leon Melchior, bought the bay. Balisto Z was to serve his 16 year old daughter Judy-Ann as a trustworthy school master for her first experiences at the international level as well as serve the great stud farm as a refining sire for the jumper mares. Balisto Z, after his sire Suchard, is the second Trakehner ever aoorived by Zangersheide. He won the stallion competition at the CDI Caen with Judy-Ann Melchior in 2003 and also put in great rounds at the Sires of the World competition in Lanaken/Belgium. Balisto Z is now again available for German Trakehner breeders after his long absence from the breeding shed and we at TI sincerely hope these outstanding bloodlines will be utilized accordingly.

Horalas *Pg* by Veimaras out of Hipogeja by Gret. Horalas is a Lithuanian bred Trakehner stalion who was imported to the US by Diane and Jim Rushing and placed with top rider Hap Hansen for a show career.

Horalas stunned the scene by winning and placing in several highly rated Grand Prix shows at the West coast and moved on to place at Spruce Meadows, one of the world's most known open jumper shows.

Horalas was approved by the ATA and stands at stud since the 2004 season. He is now ridden by Francie Steinwedell-Carvin from California and continued to impress during his 2005 yeason. Later that year, his son Vikis was approved as the Champion in Lithuania, with German Verband representatives in the inspection committee.

Kairos TSF by Leonardo out of Klarissa V by Amiego *Pg*. A shooting star among the younger Trakehner show jumpers, Kairos (who was approved by the Verband based on his show career) debuted with a most impressive win at the Youngsters Challenge Cup in Wiesbaden, Germany in 2001, against all warmblood breeds. Kairos is owned and ridden by Holger Hetzel, who also competes Waitaki. He started his 2004 season with impressive rounds and placings at the Audi Cup in Leipzig as well as a victory at the Youngster Show Jumper Vent at the Nations Cup in Milano, Italy.

In 2005, he continued his career with placings at major Grand Prixs all over Europe, and also stood at stud for the first time. He is the last living son of EH Leonardo, one of the breed's best show jumper sires ever, in Germany.

Suchard by Kassius out of ES Susi by Cesar. Suchard was the most spectacular jumper the Trakehner breed had seen to this day. With unlimited power, he seemed to stand still in mid-air when jumping. He was the first Trakehner stallion approved by the strictly Holstein-oriented Belgium Zangersheide stud book.

Suchard successfully competed at the German National Young Jumper Championships as well as the FEI World Championships for Young Jumpers in Lanaken, Belgium. He sired a number of approved sons, all with his talents over jumps and very good, almost dressage-like movement. They are Lessen (premium), Balisto Z (premium), Budweiser Classic and Lossow.

Suchard very sadly died at only 12 years.
