Breed Standards

THE TRAKEHNER 
"The Trakehner horse is the most important and outstanding of all warmblood breeds, renowned for their grace, power, magnificent movement, outstanding beauty, great ability to perform, they are naturally balanced and free. Best of all, they have an ideal temperament - keen and alert, yet level-headed and able to take intense work." (From: Equine World UK)

PHYSIQUE: 

Owing to its Thoroughbred ancestry, the Trakehner is of rectangular build, with a long sloping shoulder, good hindquarters, short cannons, and a medium-long, crested and well-set neck. The head is often finely chiseled, narrow at the muzzle, with a broad forehead. The Trakehner possesses a strong, medium-length back and powerful hindquarters.
Trakehners are athletic and trainable, with good endurance, while some are more spirited than horses of other warmblood breeds. Trakehners breed true to type, due to the purity of the bloodlines, making it valuable for upgrading other warmbloods.

COLOURS:

They are solid colours, chestnut, bay, black or grey. Also palomino and bucksin are allowed.

BANNED COLOURS:

Fantasy colours such as red, blue etc. Pinto, champange dun and diluted dun gene expressions such as grullo and cremello horses from being registered. Sabino isn't allowed!

MANES AND TAILS:

I do accept flaxen manes (on chestnuts only). I don't accep dual colored mane/tail combos typical of paints/tri-colored horses (accepted when in the case of is grey horse).

TEMPERAMENT: 

They have a willingness to work and due to their intelligence they learn extremely quickly.

ALLOWED OUTCROSSES: 

50% of the horse must be registered here as a purebred Trakehner horse. Other parent can be thoroughbred, arabians and anglo-arabians. I must allow your horse to Trakehner breeding, before I allow her/his foals to registry.
