The sire
Harlem Go was a premium stallion in Neumünster and is stationed as a State Stud stallion in East Germany. His dam Hamamelis also has stallion candidate 8 Halimey Go in the collection this year. Her sire was stationed in Germany and is now in Poland, where he is leaving quite a mark on the Trakehner breed. Rittersporn was an advanced level show jumper and also produced the FEI dressage stallions Belluno and Hippo's Belissimo. Hamamelis' dam is a full sister to the dam of EH Hohenstein. Harlem Go is also sire of the elite auction foal 113 Irrlicht in this collection.
The dam
The full brother to Oriana, Onyx, was sold to the US at the NMS foal auction in 2006. Dam sire Heraldik xx was one of Germany's most influential recent TB sires with approved sons in various registries, also the Trakehners (Fliedergeist, Kempinski, High Knight). His offspring compete at FEI levels in show jumping and especially eventing, where they have an excellent reputation. The mare family of Olive comes from East Germany and in this pedigree, carries two of the most successful sport horse sires up close, Nerv and Ralf. This is the family of the approved Offenbach (by Königsstein).
