Pinot Noir's sire, Poetry in Motion is a magnificent eye catching compact stallion with exceptional movement, conformation, bloodlines. He is a very powerful, naturally elevated horse with extravagant paces. As can be seen, his pedigree contains some of the best performance bloodlines in the world.

Pommery is bred from very famous Hanoverian lines. Combined with Abglanz (Trak) bloodlines you can be assured of elegance and ability. His dam is out of a full sister to Aktuell.

Pommery is a big framed stallion, who is clearly stamped by his sire, not only in conformation, but also in his movements. He gives constant willingness to perform. He won the dressage phase of the 1994 Stallion performance Test with excellent rideability and wonderful, cadenced movements. He had a very good evaluation in his rideability score because of the independent rider test. Pommery produces extravagant, beautiful dressage progeny.

Sire of Pommery, Pik Bube I was undoubtedly the best-known son of the outstanding Celle state stallion Pik Koenig, who in turn was the best son of Pik As xx. Pik Bube I won 11 out of 12 advanced dressage test competitions that he competed in. He was in as much in demand as a sire as a competition horse. His offspring were great performers in all disciplines.

Pik Bube I became one half of the magic equation: Donnerhall x Pik Bube I - for the overwhelming majority of successful Donnerhall progeny are out of mares by Pik Bube I.

Absatz, by Abglanz out of Landmoor endowed his foals with light, free action, superb conformation and an unparalleled disposition, which made them extremely easy to train. His sire, Abglanz was the founder of new bloodlines.

Saluut was a graded, 100 day performance tested Holstein stallion and an International Grand Prix jumper. Saluut received excellent marks in his Dutch performance test and was graded at the highest level. It is widely acknowledged that Saluut would also have been equally successful as a dressage horse. Saluut is a proven sire of world class offspring in both showjumping and dressage. Worldwide he has produced over 300 successful showjumpers, 294 dressage horses, 353 graded mares and 16 graded stallions.

Saluut's grandsire, G Ramiro Z has become famous worldwide. Ramiro descends from the famous male lineage combination Raimond - Ramzes - Rittersporn. The anglo arabian Ramzes represents one of the basic bloodlines on which Holsteiner breeding has been founded. Ramiro's dam, Valine, acquired international fame as a showjumper. She is the daughter of the reputable thoroughbred, Cottage Son, who became famous through his son Consul.

Donnerhall is the most successful dressage horse in the world. Donnerhall gave his offspring trainability and strength to handle more collected work. He managed like no other sire of his generation to combine success in breeding and in sport alike. In 1986 Donnerhall was the German DLG Champion in Hanover. After many wins in Grand Prix, Grand Prix Special and Freestyle classes at International level he became German champion in Mannheim with his constant rider Karin Rehbein in 1994, team world champion and individual bronze medal winner in The Hague. This was followed by another climax in 1997: Team gold and individual bronze at the European Dressage Championships in Verden. In 1998 he was once more included in the German world championship team and was a member of the gold medal team in Rome, where he attained fourth place in the individual results. Donnerhall won the World Cup European League, as well as being the Oldenburg Dressage Stallion of the Year in 1997 and 1998 respectively.

Wunder was imported from Denmark as a two year old, being bought with the explicit purpose of importing a stallion with superior movement & bloodlines. Wunder's bloodlines are predominantly Hanoverian with some Trakehner influence. This mix has proven over the years to be producing quality dressage and showjumping horses.

His sire Voltaire is one of Denmark's top sires, having produced a large number of licensed stallions and proven performers. Voltaire's sire, Wedekind, is well known for producing top performers in both dressage and showjumping. Wedekind, ranked in the top 100 show jumping horses in the world for his time, is also the grand sire of Welt As, sire of Olympic Dressage gold winner and multiple Dressage World Cup winner, Olympic Bonfire, ridden by Andy van Grunsven. Ferdinand & Matrose (grandsire's of Voltaire) are well known showjumping lines throughout Europe.

Ferdinand is one of the top German sires. He sired 12 approved sons, 194 competition horses & 165 Main Studbook mares. One of his most famous sons was Ferdl who was a member of the gold medal winning German Showjumping team at the 1960 Rome Olympics. Another was Mehmed who won the Individual Gold Medal in Dressage at the World Championships with Reiner Klimke in 1974.

Wunder's dam, Poesi, is a Bronze medal winning mare, an award presented to only the highest quality producers of performance horses. Her pedigree contains the famous Abglanz who is one of Germany's top stallions, a producer of World Class dressage horses. The Hanoverian A-Line has, through Abglanz, produced the foundation of today's best performance horses.

Atlantic, Poesi's sire, has been awarded a gold medal for his importance in breeding. He has produced Elite showjumpers.

Dagmar, Poesi's grand dam was the first mare ever to be awarded a gold medal. She produced 19 silver medal foals, including Palett by Pilar, Poesi's dam.

Abglanz, Poesi's grandsire, was perhaps the most influential stallion of modern time. Abglanz and his progeny are credited with bringing about great improvement in the head and neck of the Hanoverian horses. He sired 19 approved sons.

Elysium's great grandsire, Agricola, was an outstanding sire who produced well-known jumpers including Australian Vicki Roycroft's great showjumper, Apache.

Agricola was one of the last sons of Precipitation, who was perhaps the most influential jumping sire of them all, through his son Furioso, whose stallion sons dominated jumping breeding in France, Germany, Holland and Belgium for many years. Agricola's dam Aurora was by Hyperion.

Precipitation is perhaps the most influential sire of all, and while his influence on jumping horses has long been recognised, some of the most exciting dressage horses in the world today trace their ancestry to this great sire.

But it is not just in the jumping world that the Precipitation blood comes through. The Oldenburg stallion, Welt As - sire of World Champion, Olympic Bonfire - is out of Elfene, by Furioso 11, and Anky van Grunsven's other great dressage horse, Olympic Cocktail, is by Purioso, by Furioso xx. Purioso is also the sire of the Showjumper, Henderson Gammon, and the French dressage team horse, Arnoldo Thor.

In the Southern hemisphere, Precipitation has mainly exerted his influence on the racetrack. His three New Zealand based sons, Count Rendered, Summertime and Agricola were all top racing sires - and the Agricola son, Apache, showed that the stallion could produce international level showjumpers.

Precipitation was highly influential in New Zealand and Australia, where three sons became champion sires and had a great impact on bloodstock there in the 1950s and '60s. Precipitation also made a major contribution to the sporthorse world by siring Furioso, who in France got ten Olympic show jumpers and the extremely influential warmblood sire, Furioso II.
