Stunning finish to this lineup of auction horses. Symphonie moves with a lot of scope, suspension and action and has proven herself in her mare performance test and as multiple winner of riding horses classes and dressage classes for young horses at 1st level.
The sire
EH Sixtus is one of the breed's current superstars. Reserve champion of his approval in 1991, international show jumper for Germany during his active career and at this point, sire of 14 approved sons and countless high score stud book mares. EH Sixtus also holds the breed's highest show jumping index in terms of successfully competing offspring and also has several top notch event horses and FEI dressage horses among his get. Among the many successful Sixtus sons, his black "look alike" Buddenbrock seems to be the main link to the new generation of Trakehner sport horses. His sons stand in Great Britain (Axis) and Poland (Silver) and his influence has now stretched into North America as well (e.g. the ATA's Fandango or his grandson Inamorato by Buddenbrock). His daughters produce yet another generation of exceptional riding horses (e.g. the SPS+PS mare Olga III, dam of the premium stallion Oliver Twist). The sire Habicht stands out as the breed's most versatile producer with offspring in all three disciplines at international levels. Among his many approved sons, the stallions Seeadler and Coktail seemed to be the ones with a lot of dressage potential, while his son Windfall *Pg* excels in eventing as the World's most successful eventing stallion and also seems to be producing that (e.g. CIC*** eventer Karambeau by Windfall).
The dam
The elite mare Shynoon is without doubt one of the best mares in the breed today. She produced the full brother to Symphonie, the approval highligh Sabary, who only stood at stud for three seasons but left a string of outstanding movers for his record. Shynoon is also dam of the M-level winner Safari, and of the elite mare Serenade, dam of the Grand prix show jumper Sky Dancer (approved premium stallion) and his full brother Sky Walker. Symphonie is also a maternal half sister to the multiple champion mare Soiree and Scarlett. Direct family of the 2006 auction mare 103 PS Skyline.
