The sire
Biotop was one of the breed's most successful international dressage horses. While he never made it to one of the big champinships like the WEG opr Olympics, his lifetime earnings of roughly 250,000 Euros make him stand out by far. With his rider, the late Dr. Reiner Klimke, the stallion who was said to border between genius and maniac, had many fans that adored his exceptional mechanics in his movement, the lightness of his performances and his unrivaled beauty. Biotop has one approved son in the Trakehner breed so far, the successful dressage horse Goldschmidt, and has left a mark on the breed already with his high quality daughters, like the National Champion mare Shakira and her full sister Scarlett, the auction highlight in NMS in 2004. Biotop is bred according to the "gold recipie" in Russia, which combines TRakehner foundation lines with a dose of performance proven Arab blood. In this case, it is the most successful Russian stallion ever, Hockey, who brings in the Arabian component.
The dam
Oktiabrina was imported from Russia and inspected in Germany. Therefore, Oleander is the son of Russian parents in Germany. Dam sire Telets, and especially the second sire Topki, are provenm performance sires. Topki, who was an Olympic show jumper, is also the sire of the Trakehner breed's exceptional Schenkendorf. He was the best jumper in Neumünster, won at National level in Great Britain, and was recently switched over to eventing, where he is already competing at ** levels. The pedigree is rounded up by more Hockey blood on the bottom line of the dam side.
