The sire
EH Hohenstein was a premium stallion of his approval in 1993, winner of the rideability part of his 100 day test in Adelheitsdorf, Bundeschampionat qualifier and successful S level dressage horse. EH Hohenstein's most noteworthy sons include the international Grand Prix stallion EH Münchhausen TSF, the bronze medalist at the FEI World Championships for young dressage horses, Insterburg TSF, the premium stallion Tambour and the Hanoverian champion stallion His Highness, who was sold at auction for over 500.000 EURO to American owners. EH Caprimond was reserve champion of his approval, winner of his 100 day test in Adelheitsdorf, Grand Prix dressage winner in the show ring and is sire of several approved stallions, not only in the Trakehner breed. His influence on the breed is also very big through numerous daughters, of which many have become stallion dams. Caprimond also has a battery of kids competing in the upper levels of dressage and has the highest breed index for type in the Hanoverian breed. The dam line of Hohenstein, Halensee, was pridominantly kept active at the Verband stud Birkhausen in Rhineland-Palatinate in the 70s and 80s and also produced the ATA's outstanding movement producer Horizon.
The dam
Elfennacht II brings in almost historical pedigree elements via her sire, the Anglo Trakehner Waldvogt. He is the sire of the S level dressage winners Paddington and VivoBay Sympaticus, whose appearance during the Spring Approvals in Leverkusen in 2003 is in vivid memory. For her home stud, Elfennacht II has proven to be a brood mare of outstanding quality. Her daughters by EH Anduc and Biotop, as well as her granddaughter by EH Louidor have been entered into the herd. This is also the direct mare family of the Bundeschampionat finalist and 2006 auction horse 68 Eichenblüte, as well as the stallion candidates 24 Enzio and 45 Elfado.
