The sire
King Arthur was the Neumünster champion stallion in 2000. He was also the approval champion of the Danish Warmblood Society in 2003. King Arthur is fully approved in Hanover, Oldenburg, Denmark and Sweden and was the reserve champion of his stallion performance test in Neustadt/Dosse. He is a highly versatile stallion, but his owners promote him in dressage, so his jumping talent is a bit unnoticed. The stallion had his first noteworthy season in 2004, where he placed in the top ten at both the FEI Young Horse World Championships in Verden as well as the Bundeschampionship in Warendorf. Today, he is an accomplished FEI horse. King Arthur's mare family is that of O23A2 Kabinda, a line that has also produced the very popular Karwendelstein. His dam is also dam of the ATA's Kitfox.
The dam
Ondra III already has a full brother to Odeon on the ground, the 2003 gelding Oskar, who is winning at yong horse dressage classes and has already won a substantial amount of money for a young horse. Dam sire Ivernel had a FEI career in dressage and also sired the approved Schönbrunn, premium stallion Kasimir and premium Pret a Porter (sire of the champion Le Rouge). The second dam Odysee II also produced the approved premium stallion Oxford. The dam line is of East German origin and carries excellent Russian Trakehner blood with Eol (grand sire of e.g. Biotop) and Tower. Osterfest's dam Teerose was a daughter of Tertzky, who was a full brother to the important Termit (sire of Abglanz and Tropenwald - Pregel!). The family of Ostländerin also produced the approved stallions Opal, Orcus and Ontario.
