The sire
Herzensdieb was the celebrated champion in NMS in 2005 and was sold at auction to Americans Louise and Douglas Leatherdale. He passed ann outstanding 70 day test and already qualified twice for the Bundeschampionat, winning the National Trakehner Riding Horse Championat in 2005. His sire Tambour also produced the approved 70 day test winner Herzog and will be named "Elite" in Neumünster 2007. Herzensdieb comes from a highly proven dam line, which also produced the stallions EH Herzzauber, Herzglanz, Herzfunke and the international Grand Prix dressage horse Hirtentraum/U. Sauer.
The dam
Very successful dam line founded by the former race horse Schützenfest xx, one of the breed's best TB mares ever. She is dam of the approved Sharan (by Schwadroneur) and also produced Schützenkönig (by Hertug), the current South German Trakehner Riding Horse Champion (3rd overall, all breeds). Here daughters Schützengold, Shakira VII and Schneewittchen are constant contributors to the elite auctions in Neumünster and the 4th generation of her family is already on the ground at Heise Stud in Bavaria. Daughter Shakira VII is presenting elite foal 100 Schokolade in this year's collection.
