The sire
Waitaki was the breed's most successful international show jumper for many years and under his owner Holger Hetzel, competed in numerous Nation Cups on the German team. The liver chestnut has been used scarcely in the Trakehner breed, but from few breeding, has produced exceptional sport horses and top jumper in their respective age classes, among them the now approved Der Dürer TSF, and several Rhineland and Westfalian-branded warmbloods. Waitaki carries the excellent TB stallion Raufbold xx, who is without a doubt the most influential TB in Russian Trakehner breeding (e.g. also appearing in the pedigree of the elite stallion and jumper producer Beg xx). Waitaki's second sire Ech-Ma also produced the approved Russian Trakehner stallion Abrek, standing at stud in Austria, who also had a career in show jumping at FEI levels with Barbara Beinwachs, and whose offspring with Trakehner and Austrian warmblood brands win in the show ring now.
The dam
Kamee IV is a daughter of the S level show jumper Heimherr, whose pedigree can only be called rare and outstanding from today's pint of view. Sire Cesar is the dam sire of the Zangersheide approved Trakehner show jumper Suchard; Ozean was a noteworthy jumper producer and is also the dam sire of Hanover's and Oldenburg's legendary Grannus, whose offspring have won way over 2 Mio Euros in competition worldwide; dam sire Carajan was the Trakehner breed's most successful and dominant jumper producer in the 70s and sadly, his once larger line has almost died out today, with the exception of Sarafan (another stallion whose offspring show clear potential as jumpers, documenting that with S level success in Germany), and the ATA's Amiego *Ps*E*-line, which is active in Europe and America. The second dam Kadmeia has 5 offspring competing in Germany, three of which are full siblings to Kamee IV. The basis of this jumper line is the premium mare Kaprice II, who produced the mare Kapriziöse (dam of the ATA's Kaspareit as well as the approved Kapuccino; FEI show jumper), as well as the mare Karben, dam of Karon and second dam to Kostolany!. She is also dam of the performance mare Kaskade (by Fabian), herself successful at M level jumping, and dam of the S level show jumper Karajan.
