About the sire:

Glücksruf was the "best jumper" prize winner at the Trakehner stallion approvals in 2011. He comes from impeccable East German performance lines and has proven himself a worthy representative of these versatile genetics. Ate age 3, he was the best Trakehner stallion in Germany in the 2012 crop of 30 day tested stallions, with winning scores for his rideability, character and willingness to work. As a 4yr old, he won and placed high in young dressage horse classes and suitability classes in Germany. In the fall of 2013, he passed an excellent 70 day test in Germany, winning the dressage index and placing in the Top 2 of all Trakehners tested in Germany that year. Other scores included 9 and 9.5 for his walk, temperament, willingness and jumping, and high 8 scores for his cross country performance. Glücksruf is the classic Trakehner: Beautiful to look at, yet a winner under saddle with obvious versaility and athleticism.

Glücksruf's sire Dramatiker was a S level show jumper in Germany and sold to China in late 2012. He comes from excellent East German performance lines and combines the top jumper producers Ibar xx, Trafaret and Altan II in his pedigree. Dam sire Opernball also qualified for the Bundeschampionat of the German Show Jumper.

About the dam:

Caro's Colour is a Trakehner Verband Main Stud Book with a good performance test under saddle. Colour me Lucky is her first foal. She was bred back to Glücksruf for a 2014 foal.

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).

Cornus was also a Bundeschampionat level show jumper iin Germany, and produced international competition horses in dressage (e.g. Ursprung TSF) and eventing (e.g. LaCorna, CIC***). He comes from very close maternal relation to the foundation sire Consul, the outstanding modern producer Connery, the S level dressage stallion Chardonnay and many other proven Trakehner performance stallions.
