Horatio’s Sire Arentino was competed in Prix St. George dressage and did also really well in show jumping. Arentino’s Sire Santiago by Wie Ibikus and out of the foundation mare Schwalbelied was Champion of his grading in 1980 and was a very substantial big framed grandson of the legendary stallion Ibikus, which went on to become a very good show jumper. Wie Ibikus himself produced a big number of high successful dressage horses competing up to Grand Prix. Santiago produced some outstanding broodmares and the value can be seen in his offspring’s competition results. 

Arentino’s Dam E.St Arktis II presents herself as one of the more valuable broodmares of the Trakehner breed, being a full sister to the stallion Arogno, sire of the stallions Schwadroneur (now dead), and Anky’s stallion Partout. E.St Arktis’s offspring are doing well in 3-day eventing and dressage competing in Prix St. Georges. 

Horatio is out of Hawaii, which is by the Trakehner stallion Pascal (now dead).He was a very noble and very impressive grandson of Donauwind – a real gentleman.

Pascal was champion of his performance test and performed in his younger years with high success in show jumping and three-day-event on a national level. He always passed on his kind and willing character and his off spring are well known for being easy to train and ride. His mother line is known as one of the most proven families within the Trakehner bred and produced the international dressage stars TNC Partout and the Olympic dressage stallion Peron. He himself was nearly a full brother to Anky Von Grunsven’s Grand Prix dressage stallion TNC Partout.  

Hawaii’s Dam Herzblatt was for many years well known, as one of the highest quality mares of the Trakehner breed, becoming champion mare of the German Trakehners Bundesschau. Herzblatt also got a 10 for movement and produced the graded son Heinrich der Love, who became a top class show jumper. Herzblatt’s dam Elite mare Herzchen produced Herzruf a leading Sire of top broodmares and high talented dressage horses. Her 2^nd graded son Hirtenruf became Reserve Champion of his grading. Herzchen has produced many Champion mares and graded sons with very high marks for movement and conformation. Herzblatt’s Sire Seeadler is very famous for stamping his off spring and high quality producing daughters, as for exsample Regatta, dam of Monica Theodorescu’s International dressage star and Olympic hope Renaissance Fleur TSF. 

Horatio is a super colt with wonderful movements and a brilliant character, he is a really fun horse to be around always making the staff laugh. We are keeping him in the hope that he will grade one day and can’t wait to see this wonderful colt out competing when old enough.

Graded as a stallion in 2006 with the Trakehner Society in England.
