The sire
Goldschmidt is the only approved son of the international Grand Prix dressage stallion Biotop in the Trakehner breed and has had a good career as a dressage horse himself. He was approved at the spring approvals in 2003, passed an excellent stallion performance test with very high socres in dressage, won at the Bundesturnier in Cologe and qualified for the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf. His sire Biotop was the late Dr. R. Klimke's last international performance horse and won World Cup freestyles and many top shows, accumulating some 250,000€ in winnings! Dam Goldstück is a daughter of Hohenstein, and her dam Goldsaar was by the accomplished TB Saros xx, a maternal half brother to the Trakehner breed's successful Swazi xx (e.g. sire of Grand Prix and EH Consul). The dam line of Gundel also produced Godot and the FEI dressage stallions Goldino and EH Gribaldi.
The dam
Dam Perrier is by the former Bundeschampion and NMS Reserve Champion Induc, a 3/4 brother to the highly accomplished EH Anduc, and sire of the approved Happy Hour (ATA), Amarduc (NZ) and Harley (AU). Second dam sire Kennedy was champion in Neumünster and although he died at a young age, he left a number of exceptional brood mares for the Trakehner breed, apart from the approved sons Steinburg (now ATA), Sauvignon and Peu a Peu. Kennedy's most famous daughter would be the elite mare Insterfee, dam of the three champion mares In Zukunft, In Farbe and In vita, along with the champion stallion In Flagranti and his full brother In Petto.
