The sire
Insterburg TSF was approved as a premium stallion at the spring approvals in Leverkusen in 2002 and with Carola Koppelmann in the saddle, won bronze medals at the Bundeschampionat and the FEI Young Dressage Horse World Championships in Verden. Today, he is firmly established at FEI levels pre-Grand Prix and qualified for the prestigious Nünrberg Burgpokal in Frankfurt in December of 2007. Insterburg is the full brother to the approved I-Punkt, and out of very close maternal relation, the Latimer son Illux is approved as well. The dam line carries the FEI dressage stallion Giorgio Armani (by EH Arogno), the top sport horse sire Leonardo, and further down, the proven stallion Siegbert (e.g. dam sire of the ATA's Grand Prix stallion Leonidas *Pg*).
The dam
Dam sire Bartholdy was the champion of his inspection in NMS in 1982 and sired the champion Finley M and the elite stallion Maizauber. The dam sire of this pedigree shows interesting, yet very rare inbreeding to the legendary Abglanz (sire of Valentin, who in turn sired Polifax). The second dam Herbstrose II is also dam of the M level dressage gelding Herbstzauber (by Giorgio Armani). The third dam Herbstlied produced the approved Herbstruf (by Lucado). Direct dam line of the elite mare Herzchen and her dynasty in breeding and performance (EH Herzruf, Hölderlin, Heinrich der Löwe, Highlander, Hibiskus, Hirtentanz, Hirtenruf, etc).
