The following bloodline information was, in great part, provided by Dr. Maren Engelhardt

SIRE: Inamorato's sireEH BUDDENBROCK was awarded the Elite title in 2007 due to the success of his offspring in competition and overall conformational quality. He was named Trakehner Stallion of the Year 2010.
The Trakehner Verband awards the title "Stallion of the Year" to a major sire of the breed that stands out based on his success as a performance horse, sire of performance horses and breeding stock. Today, 10 years after his first son entered the arean at Neumünster, Buddenbrock has proven that he is not only a great, modern ambassador for the Trakehner breed, but a stallion of international format, with approval status in most German stud books and offspring on several continents competing as rideable, reliable, sound and talented sport horses. Buddenbrock is a true major sire of the Trakehner breed and has helped tremendously to put the Habicht line on an even broader basis. Buddenbrock was approved in 1996 and since then has produced approved sons almost every year. Out of Buddenbrock's very first foal crop, several sons were presented in Neumünster in 2000. He sired the champion of that year, EH King Arthur, and another approved stallion, EH Connery. Both have moved on to very successful performance and breeding careers. His offspring now compete at Grand Prix level in dressage (e.g. King Arthur TSF, Hinnerck TSF), have themselves produced exceptional new stallions (son EH Connery sired the two Res Champions Imperio and Editorial), and are among the highest inspected and valued mares of the entire breed. The five full siblings by Buddenbrock out of the elite mare Insterfee are probably a nice example of the quality this stallion can produce with the right match: Champion In Flagranti, approved In Petto, and the champion mares and under saddle winners SPS+PS In Zukunft, In Farbe and In Vita. He is also the sire of Epernay and the ATA's Inamorato. Buddenbrock's dam sire, Diamant stood in Austria and sired several highly recognized dressage horses for the upper levels. His sire Erzsand also had quite an influence on the ATA breed. The big Blinklicht family is known mostly for great, athletic sport horses, and apart from Buddenbrock and Benz, also the younger Bellheim (by Saint Cloud) comes from this line.

GRANDSIRE: EH SIXTUS was a FEI level show jumper and is the most important son of the great Habicht in breeding. Over 15 sons have been approved to this day, worldwide. EH Sixtus is not only an impressive stallion personality, but a leading performance horse producer and a shaping sire of our time. His offspring compete successful at FEI levels in eventing and dressage and EH Sixtus also has one of the highest jumper index scores of the breed. His daughters regularly stand in front at inspections and mare performance tests and he is also represented at championship shows like the Bundeschampionat on a regular basis. The Burnus AAH - Habicht line owes Sixtus its recent jump to the top, as athleticism, intelligence, jumping potential as well as soundness and movement quality are hallmarks of Sixtus' hertitage and he is able to reproduce that in his get. HABICHT by Burnus is probably the breed's most versatile and proven sport horse sire of all times and traces back to the famous Shagya Arabian stallion Lapis, a grey war time hero who helped his officer, Walter Schmidt-Salzmann, to find home from Russia during WWII. BURNUS, like Habicht, was a successful international event horse and accomplished breeding stallion not only in the Trakehner breed. Habicht, who also lived at the German Hörstein stud like his famous sons Sixtus and Windfall *Pg*, won the CCI*** Achselschwang under Martin Plewa and was the best German horse at the CCI**** Burghley prior to retiring at stud where he left an amazing amount of high quality brood mares and sons for the breed. He sired 12 approved sons and 133 approved daughters. His offsping earned approx. 200,000 Euro in their show careers. The sire line of Habicht-Burnus AAH Habicht offspring can be found at the highest levels in dressage (granddaughter Renaissance Fleur TSF/M. Theodorescu), eventing (Windfall *Pg*/D. Chiacchia) and show jumping (Livius/A. Kursinski). Habicht died at the proud age of 25 and left especially through his son Sixtus a great impact in the modern Trakehner breed. Habicht’s line is equally important as the Arogno and Mahagoni lines and the crosses of these lines are high in demand (e.g. the champion sire Polarpunkt by Arogno-Habicht).

SIRE DAM: Buddenbrock’s dam is the Elite mare SPS,PS+ES BALLERINA, who also produced the National Champion mare and Bundeschampionat finalist Bandera, the premium mare Batida (dam of the premium stallion Blitz & Donner), as well as the premium mares Balaleika, Biskaja, Borgia and Baracuda. The mare family behind this success story also comes from the main stud Trakehnen via the chestnut mare Blitzrot (family designation T6A). Among her influential descendants are EH BENZ (Contessa's dam sire) the State Stud stallions Bernstein, Blickfang, Blitz, Baluster, Belsazar, Bellheim, Blitzwind, Carajan II and the impeccable reforming stallion of Dutch dressage breeding, Doruto!

DAM: Pr. St. INDIRA XV won Champion Mare and Champion Mare Family in Graditz in 1999 along side her dam Irene (by the Century sire Mahagoni), and her sister Istia. This dam line (Isabella) produced Imperio, 2008 Bundeschampion, Reserve Young Dressage Horse World Champio and 2009 Bronze Medal World Champion (by EH Connery), the Premium stallion Interconti (by EH Consul) who sired Zauberfürst, Instergraditz (by Bonito xx), the sire of showjumper Sir Graditz, and Idahoe (by Abdullah P *g* E) who scored a perfect 10 for jumping at his approval.

GRANDDAM: IRENE VI Champion Mare Family Graditz 1999 is by Mahagoni (Pasteur). Mahagoni was Champion of his stallion performance test and is one of the best Trakehner dressage sire of all times. He sired 9 approved sons and countless important daughters, and was known as a producer of beautiful, athletic performance horses. His son Peron won a bronze medal at the 1994 Olympic games.

DAM SIRE: FONTAINBLEAU was the champion stallion in Neumünster in 1993 and continued his career at his home stud in Hörem. He became a successful international CCI*** event horse and very sadly died at only 12 years of age. Among his many offspring are the international CCI**** eventers Kunta Kinte TSF (who also won the prestigious Bundeschampionat), Reserve Champion Karama M and El Greco. Fontainbleau sired the approved stallions El Greco and Albarrano (premium). This mare line also produced the late EH Friedensfürst, an international Grand Prix dressage stallion.

DAM SIRE SIRE: EH ROCKEFELLER was a German Trakehner elite stallion and one of the best sporthorse producers in the breed. Described in the early ‘90s by equine experts as one of the best German warmbloods ever born, regardless of brand or breed, he was an FEI-level dressage winner and Germany’s National Stallion Champion in 1997 (all breeds). He had beside FONTAINBLEAU three other approved sons in Germany, all of them leaving quite the mark on the breed: EH BENZ out of Premium Mare Blinklicht is an accomplished FEI dressage horse and elite stallion based on his own performance record and the quality of his offspring, with the approved son Minetti and offspring in advanced competition in dressage and driving in Europe. EH Benz is one of the breed's top movement producers (based on the statistical analysis of inspection scores of his daughters in Germany). He is out of the famous family of Blitzrot (main stud Trakehnen). Benz is one of the best trot-producers in the current Trakehner breed and sired the approved son Emerson. He also sired the S level dressage gelding Hopkins as well as the advanced level dressage horses Chronometer, Galileo, gute Aussicht and Sunny SL. He is also the dam sire of the 1999 reserve champion stallion in Neumünster, Maserati by EH Partout, who is a successful dressage stallion. CHARDONNAY was a successful FEI dressage stallion and in 1997, Germany's most successful 7 year old dressage horse at Advanced level (all breeds!). He had only very limited chances in the breed, but since 2006, stands back at stud in Germany. Chardonnay sired the successful dressage stallion Alter Fritz, himself sire of the approved Chabrol (UK). Artistic-Rock is yet another FEI dressage stallion, and today stationed in the Netherlands. The very powerful mover had even less chances in the breed, but managed to produce such amazing mares as St.Pr.St. Heavenly (100,000DM auction mare in Neumünster) or St.Pr.St. Hillary (both mares were members of the National Champion mare family - get of mare - at the National Trakehner Mare Show in Neustadt/Dosse 2004). EH Rockefeller was equally important and successful as the sire of outstanding mares (e.g. National champions Klassic-Rock and Gute Reise) and performance horses that competed at the top levels in all three major disciplines. Among them are the dressage horses like Rocky Balbloa, eventers like the CCI*** successful Eos, show jumpers like Flambeau and driving horses like Asterix. When EH Rockefeller died very unexpectedly at age 17 in the same year that his sire EH Consul passed away, the breed had lost two of the best sport horse producers it ever had, and the gap was impossible to fill to this day.
