The sire
EH Münchhausen TSF was the champion of his approval in 1997, a top scorer at his stallion performance test, won the National Riding Horse Championships, placed at the Bundeschampionat, won the Reserve World Champion title at the FEI Young Dressage Horse Championships in Verden and finally, in 2005, was selected for the Danish Team and participated at both the European Championships in Hagen/Germany, as well as the CHIO Aachen with his Danish rider Fie Skarsoe. A popular sire from the very beginning, he is approved for almost all European Stud Books and has several approved sons in Westfalia, and Sambatänzer, Meraldik and Mon Baron in the Trakehner breed. Many of his daughters have received premium scores and with his first crop of riding horses coming into the right age now, several pop up as excellent dressage talents, e.g. the gelding Garbor (Bundeschampionat 2005) or the mare Media Luna (FEI World Championships, Bundeschampionat and now at S level). Münchhausen TSF is the most successful of the many EH Hohenstein sons in the breed. His dam Mohnblüte is an in hand champion mare and her sire, the black Königsstein, although not known very well, has made a name for himself. Second dam sire Arrak was a direct Ibikus son and produced horses for the highest levels in all three disciplines, e.g. the Olympic dressage horse Merlin TSF with Carolin Hatapla/Austria.
The dam
Tamara XXI rose to fame in the 2000 NMS elite mare auction, when she sold for 140,000 DM to the Wiesenhof Stud. She is a full sister to the riding horse auction highlight Trinity (now Canada) and the third dam Tannenmeise was a full sister to Tannenberg *E*. Family of the stallions Tannengrund, Tannensee and Tanzeln (ATA). Also the line of the S-level dressage horse Tatoo.
