The sire
Hibiskus was the reserve champion of the approvals in 2002 and won the Trakehner Riding Horse Championat. He also qualified for the Bundeschampionat in the riding horse divisions. After his recent sale to Gestüt Wiesenhof it is very likely that he will finally also have a good performance career. This is his second foal crop in Neumünster, after his sons Okavango (premium), Hessencharme and Stresemann were approved in 2006. Hibiskus' sire EH Latimer is a successful FEI level dressage horse with Theresa Wahler all over Europe and sired a number of approved stallions (Karolinger I+II, Immenhof, Finckenstein and Illux, as well as several Hanoverians). Latimer's daughters belong to the highest scoring mares in the Verband stud books. He is a 3/4 brother to the excellent Liebestraum. Hibiskus dam comes from a very good mare line that was founded by the chestnut elite mare Herzchen (by Ginster). This direct family includes the Stallion of the Year EH Herzruf, the reserve champion Hirtenruf, the S level show jumper and approved Heinrich der Löwe, the FEI dressage stallion Heinrich der Welfe, the *** eventing stallion Hölderlin and the top show jumper Hirtentanz.
The dam
Dam sire EH Friedensfürst was at the beginning of a very promising international Grand Prix career when he died untimely. Despite the fact that Friedensfürst was promoted in dressage, his genetic value seems to be that of a top jumper producer. His son Lücke is an accomplished S winner and one of only three Trakehner stallions in the prestigious Hanoverian Show Jumper Program. Friedensfürst's son Raumalpha just recently won the reserve champion title at the Bundeschampionat of the 6yr old event horse in Warendorf, and First Flight is another S level show jumper by Friedensfürst. Excellent show jumper dam line, with offspring such as the FEI show jumpers Zauberer (by Impuls), Zauberfürst (by Ibikus) and Zauberstern (by Impuls), and the CCI** eventer Zaunkönig (by Impuls). She is also dam of the outstanding and very important DLG champion stallion Zauberklang (by Prince Rouge). Third dam Zauberlicht II also produced the S level show jumper mare Zauberhexe. Same family as stallion candidate no 16 Zauberrubin.
