Harvard

Harvard is sired by Elite Hengst Hohenstein I, the 2002 Trakehner Stallion of the Year with an impressive Dressage Index of 148.29. Harvard's dam,Hauptstutbuch Carina, is sired by famed refining stallion Cardinal xx and in addition to Harvard, also produced the Licensed Hanoverian Stallion Davis Cup, two State Premium daughters, the Reserve Federal Champion Dakapo, three Advanced level dressage horses and the showjumper Top Gun.

Performance tested in 1999, Harvard scored a perfect 10 for Temperament and 9's for Character, Willingness and Rideability. He was Vice-Champion of the 2000 Oldenburg Main Premium, a Bundeschampionate Finalist at age 4 and 5, Advanced Dressage Champion of Ontario, Grand Champion Stallion at the RAWF and Long-Listed for the Canadian Dressage Team.

Harvard progeny are elegant in type, kind in temperament and inherit his fluid walk. Harvard has produced Licensed sons, numerous State Premium and Elite mares, Special Premium and Premium Mares, Elite Auction Foals, a Bundeschampion, finalists at the World Championships for Young Dressage Horses, successful International Advanced Dressage competitors, high scoring Oldenburg mares, Foals of Distinction and legions of Premium Foals. Daughter, Halifax won the 2006 Bundeschampionate. He now has four offspring competing successfully at Advanced Levels in dressage in Germay. Harvard is a sought after sire of broodmares, his daughters continue to develop his legacy in Europe bringing forth Licensed Sons, St.Pr. Mares, Elite Auction Foals and the 2008 Champion Filly at the German Foal Championships. The Champion of the 2013 South German Stallion licensing was dam-sired by Harvard.

Dannebrog

Dannebrog, a young dressage stallion, is already showing great talent that reflects his sire and dam lines' legendary sucesses. "At the stallion tests in Adelheidsdorf...DANNEBROG achieved a dressage index of 135.74 points, finishing as third best dressage stallion and especially showcased because of his extraordinary character, his fantastic rideability and his three supple and elastic basic gaits, always maintaining the rhythm combined with a very soft contact with the bit. " - DMJ Horses

Dannebrog's sire Don Schufro has for many years been at the very top of the German breeding list for dressage stallions. This largely framed stallion, who is stationed at the Blue Hors Stud in Denmark, graduated as a superior winner in the dressage performance test in Adelheidsdorf with a total of 154.93 points. The mare line of this stallion is also highly approved due to the very close relationship with Don Primero and Sunnyboy. Don Schufro's pedigree ends in an old Vornholz mare line.

Dannebrog's dam is by Brentano II. This stallion has clearly left his mark on Dannebrog due to exterior and outward appearance. Brentano II was Hanoverian Stallion of the Year 2003 and has in addition to Weltmeyer and Londonderry made a significant impression with base at the insemination centre in Ankum. Above all Brentano II leaves an apparent mark on the mare side according to expression and exterior. As a base for this mare line lie the well acknowledged Kassette-family from the Main Stud Trakehnen. Out of numerous competition horses and highly approved mares, the most famous offspring of this mare line is probably Kostelany. This stallion was awarded the title Trakehner Stallion of the Year 2009 and is among others father to Gribaldi and grandfather to Tortilas, who is the word of mouth these days. But also Karon, the Trakehner Champion Stallion K2 and Oldenburg Stallion of the Year 2003, Don Kennedy, have their roots in this dam line. (DMJ Horses)

Dannebrog's dam, Byzantina, has produced 3 Staatsprämie mares.
