The sire
Hibiskus was the reserve champion of the approvals in 2002 and won the Trakehner Riding Horse Championat. He also qualified for the Bundeschampionat in the riding horse divisions. He has won and placed at 3rd level in dressage. This is his first foal crop in Neumünster. Hibiskus' sire EH Latimer is a successful FEI level dressage horse with Theresa Wahler all over Europe and sired a number of approved stallions (Karolinger I+II, Immenhof, Finckenstein and Illux, as well as several Hanoverians). Latimer's daughters belong to the highest scoring mares in the Verband stud books. He is a 3/4 brother to the excellent Liebestraum. Hibskus dam comes from a very good mare line that was founded by the chestnut elite mare Herzchen by Ginster. This direct family includes the Stallion of the Year EH Herzruf, the reserve champion Hirtenruf, the S level show jumper and approved Heinrich der Löwe, the FEI dressage stallion Heinrich der Welfe and the last "best jumper" in Neumünster, Hirtentanz.
The dam
With his impressive frame, his superior self-carriage and his powerful and supple movements, this youngster definitely takes after his sire. This branch of the popular family of Kassandra has been producing horses for the Neumünster auction on a regular basis. The approved S-dressage stallion Komponist and the M-level dressage horses Kotillon, Kornett, and Kasimir are closely related, as well as the Neumünster stallion candidates and auction horses Katmandou (2004, D. Chiacchia, USA) and Krombacher (2003, C.+R. Demandt, Canada).
