The sire
EH Lehndorffs will be named "Stallion of the Year" in Neumünster in 2007. This Hörstein Stud stallion is a prime mare producer in Germany with exceptional daughters that have produced more stallions, sport horses and competed at the top themselves. Lehndorffs is also the sire of the stallions Domhardt, Blitz und Donner (premium, now in the US), and Kaiser Wilhelm (premium, just debuted at Grand Prix for Denmark). Lehndorffs is from the famous Marduc - Halali dressage line, which also produced the elite stallion Anduc and his excellent sons, as well as EH Herzzauber and Induc, to name a few. Marduc's parternal half brother EH Hyllos is maybe even mnore prepotent as a dressage sire, since with a fraction of the breeding numbers, he managed to produce several excellent Grand Prix horses, among them the approved Solero TSF, the grey Lamborghini, and the Rhineland mare Habanera. Lehndorff's mare family is the O358 Lore family, which also produced the US bred and German approved Grand Prix stallion Leonidas *Pg*.
