The sire
Tannenhof's Solero TSF is one of the most successful Trakehners at international Grand Prix dressage, with a major win during the CDI Tour at the CHIO Aachen 2005. Solero was approved as a premium stallion in Neumünster 1995 and to this date, is the only son of EH Hyllos in the breed. Solero has an interesting pedigree with a good load of "special blood", not only through Agamemnon xx, but also through the Arabian stallion Dämon ox, the only Arabian after WWII who managed to found a small stallion line in the breed. Polargeist also sired the champion stallion Holunder. Gothewind, the second dam, is a Habicht grand daughter (through Coktail), thus infusing more Arabian blood (via Burnus AAH) and comes from one of Trakehnen's famous "black herd" mare lines, the Goldelse family. Coktail is also the sire of the ATA's popular Martini *Pg*E* and is the dam sire of Peron TSF (M. Gibson/USA).
The dam
Exceptional and very fertile mare line on the basis of the famous mare Vanessa, dam of 22 (!) foals, among them the Grand Prix stallion EH Van Deyk, whose sons Kaiserkult TSF and Kaiserdom TSF won the Bundeschampionat. Van Deyk is also sire of the international dressage stallion Polarion TSF, sire of the outstanding Grafenstolz TSF. Dam Val Gardena already had auction horses in Neumünster and contributes excellent German TB lines via Justinian xx, whose sire Kronenkranich xx also sired the approved Trakehner stallion Amelio. Direct dam line of the stallions Vincent, Valerian, Velasquez and the CCI**** eventer Vilano. Closer maternal relazion to the 2007 auction mare 116 Viva Vanessa.
