The sire
EH Van Deyk was a Grand Prix dressage winner with Dorothee Schneider and even made a comeback after most of his back coat was lost in a hirrific barn fire. His dam Vaness turned 36 years old and produced 22 foals in her life. Sire Patricius xx, a model TB stallion, also produced the approved Goldino, a FEi competitor himself and sire of the approved stallions Uljanoff and Uckermärker. The TB stallion Kaiseradler xx was of utmost importance in Germany, and also produced, e.g. Madruzo xx, the dam sire of the Olympic eventer Windfall *Pg*. The combination of the major sires Impuls and Ibikus, as shown in Vanessa's pedigree, was mostly a story for success and was especially popular in Hämelschenburg, where not only Ibikus stood at stud, but where Van Deyk's dam line of Vera was also bred for a while. This line further produced the S-level dressage stallions Valerian and Vincent, as well as the show jumper champion and approved Velasquez, and the CCI**** eventer Vilano, who represented Germany at the World Championships in Jerez de la Frontera.
The dam
Kimora is the dam of the shooting stars Kaiserkult TSF and Kaiserdom TSF, both approved sons of EH Van Deyk and both Bundeschampions in Germany in the 6 year old dressage horse divisions in 2004 and 2005, respectively. Kaiserturm is their full brother. She is also the dam of the M-level winner Kasan (also by EH Van Deyk). Her daughter PS+SPS Kelly has the 2006 stallion candidate 35 Kardinal in the catalogue. Kelly's daughter Kiss Me (by EH Hohenstein) is a six year old 2nd level dressage mare.
