British Breeders of Champion Trakehner Sports horses We at Holme Trakehners have a breeding programme to produce Trakehner horses carefully selected for Temperament, Beauty and Movement. It has been said that the Trakehner has everything everybody is looking for in a performance horse and if you look at the breed's list of attributes it is easy to see why. The Trakehner 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. They have a willingness to work and due to their intelligence they learn extremely quickly. The Trakehner, is the warmblood closest to the British ideal of the modern competition and riding horse, whose upgrading influence of bloodlines is evident in most of the continental sports horse breeds today. The popularity of this breed is growing at an outstanding rate. The Trakehner is the "Thoroughbred" of warmblood breeds, it is more closely related to the Thoroughbred than other German breeds having had major influence in the stud book from the English Thoroughbred and to a lesser degree the Arab and Anglo Arab. Due to selective breeding the Trakehner has retained the best Thoroughbred qualities while keeping its own special character and "type". All Trakehner breeding stock has to undergo rigorous grading methods to maintain the high standards and only foals from graded parents on both sides are eligible for "Pink Papers" and the Trakehner Brand. 3 year old mares and 2 year old colts are inspected by a panel of judges and given marks for Breed Type, conformation, movement and correctness. The standards required for stallions to grade are very high and from all colts born, only 1-4% are likely to succeed as 'Graded Trakehner Stallions' world-wide. Trakehners are addictive, once you have had one you're hooked! They are just" very nice people", so willing to please and a pleasure to own. 5 * LIVERY AT HOLME PARK STUD Full or Part Livery Professional care Stallions accepted Mares taken for foaling Youngstock liveries ** We currently have 1 livery space available** Close Description
