About the sire:

E.H. Manrico is one of the most proven all around sport hose sires of the Trakehner breed today and just in the past years has slowly made his way back into the spotlight. His get compete successfully at FI eventing and S level dressage. Manrico was also the champin of his 100 day test and won at Inter I level in dressage. His get constistently inherit great rideability and excllent jumping potential. Manrico's sire Gipsy King was an equally established dual purpose sires in the Trakehner breed with offspring competing at S level in show jumping and dressage. He was one of the last male representatives of the Abglanz line in the Trakehner breed. Gipsy King's dam line, that of the original treck mare Gundula (O326 Poll-Hörem), has produced a number of S level performance horses and the influential stallions Gunnar, Ginster, Grand Passion, Guy Laroche, Guter Planet, Guter Stern, Glenn Grant, as well as the equally versatile Grafenstolz TSF.

Manrico's dam Marcia II is an elite mare for the Trakehner Verband and is also the dam of the highly regarded approved chestnut Märchenprinz by Ecuador xx, who stood in Germany and Denmark. The grand dam Maike is also an elite mare and produced Marcia's full brother, the approved Maifeuer. Maike is also dam of the mare Mailicht by Habicht, whose old daughter Maiwolke by Arrak was successful as a show jumper at M level. From very close maternal relation, we also find the the outstanding show jumper sire Mandant and Marius, whose son Conte Conyaro had a long Grand Prix dressage career with Karin Kunert. This valuable and highly proven dam line is also the background of the S level show jumpers Merlin, Mondsichel and Morgenstern (all sired by Sarafan).

About the dam:

Chalyna was a foundation mare for Gestüt Majenfelderhof in Germany. She produced 13 foals, all of which were tested under saddle. Four daughters became broodmares and have put the family on a broarder background. The Chalyn descendends are versatile sporthorses with competition success in dressage, eventing and show jumping.

The mare family of Chalyna is of true outcross character. Isotop was a versatile stallion, whose offspring excelled in jumping and eventing. He is the dam sire of the approved show jumper Graziello as well as the eventing mare Goldika. He is also dam sire of the now famous Trakehner pinto stallion Elvis, who was a significant force in the recent resurrection of the Trakehner pinto breeding program. Isotop's dam was a direct daughter of the famous Main Stud Trakehnen mare Isola Longa. Her big family also stands for stallions like Immer Voran, Indigo I+II, Index, Isländer, Illuster, Infant, EH Itaxerxes and of course, the impeccable major sire Ibikus.

Hortus brings valuable TB blood to the table. The popular Stern xx is ideally enhanced by Pik Ass xx in the falling dam line. This Abendfrieden xx-son was especially successful in the Hanoverian breed, where he founded the exceptional Pik König - Pik Bube I+II line. The dam line of Pik As xx, the TB family of Postenkette xx, also producced the Celle State Stud stallion Perser xx and the exceptional Pindar xx for the Trakehner breed.

The very small East Prussian mare family of Gretchen is also the line that produced the Oldenburg premium stallion and international dressage competitor Day Dream (by Don Gregory out of the Trakehner mare Cinderella by Schwärmer).
