Trakehner foals playing around together!
The “little one” is Imperial Stout (Tatendrang colt) and the “big one” is Newcastle (Hailo colt). My trainer and her husband started a small breeding program a few years ago and bred these two handsome boys.

Renowned for its floating trot, the Trakehner is one of the lightest & most refined warmbloods. We are celebrating this breed as our March Breed of the Month on #YourDressage!

I’ve had my 6 year old Trakehner Drogon since he was 7 months old! I bought him from his breeder right after his birth. It’s been such a journey raising my first young horse and then starting him under saddle. It was quite tough at times as he hurt himself as a yearling and have had a few bumps in the road along the way. But he and I did our first year of USDF shows last year and finished 4th at the Region 3 Champs for AA Training level. He is a once in a lifetime horse and I am loving our journey together! – Amanda M.Wisdom’s Epiphany… Pippi. I leased her for one show season and we won every class we went in and were year end champions in all our divisions. She was my little pocket rocket!! – Jeana S.I have a Trakhener gelding that was from a Trakhener breeding barn in Nipomo CA. His name is Phargo. His sire was Fandango and his dam was Polarina.

We have evented as a partnership for 8 years, truly breaks my heart having to retire him. His mind and heart are in eventing and he would go forever if he could, unfortunately his joints said, “no more”. He has truly made me fall in love with the Trakehner breed! – Rachel R.Love Trakehners!!

We had no idea that it would completely change our lives and Trakehners would become such a huge part of who we are.
