Poetry In Motion is the only stallion in Australia by the German sire, Pommery who won the dressage phase of his Stallion Performance Test with excellent rideability and wonderful, cadenced movement.

Pommery is bred from very famous Hanoverian (Pik Bube I) & Trakehner (Abglanz) lines. The combination of these bloodlines has produced extravagant and beautiful dressage progeny who have both elegance and ability.

Importantly, his dam's line is just as impressive as his sires. His dam is by Salute out of an imported Donnerhall mare. Salute is the sire of GV Stirling Stilton, Staccato, DP Christopher and Victory Salute, all very successful performance horses. Donnerhall certainly needs no introduction as he is clearly noted as being one of the greatest Dressage sires of all time.

In addition to superior world class bloodlines, Poetry In Motion has extravagant movement, correct conformation, an uphill build, gorgeous looks and remarkably dominant genes.

He has now proven himself as a successful and pre-potent sire with all his progeny being built uphill with exceptional eye-catching movement and excellent trainability.

His progeny are just commencing in-hand competition with one of his sons, Meridian Poseidon, victoriously winning 4 Champions, 1 Supreme Champion and has been unbeatable in QLD against all ages and genders at his last 4 shows both under Australian and International judges.

Poetry In Motion is a very versatile stallion with his progeny displaying attributes that indicate they will have the ability to be highly successful dressage horses, eventers and showhorses.

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.

First breeding 1995. He has 2 licensed sons, 7 state premium mares, 25 auction horses. Improver in dressage ability and riding type.

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.

Pik Bube I's dam, Franka also produced the full brother Pik Bube II and the advanced dressage horse Poseidon 30. Her dam, Dohlenfurstin, was an international showjumper under the name Daniela. Franka is by Frustra II who was a crucially important dam sire in the Hanoverian studbook.

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.

Abglanz, Absatz's sire, 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.

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.

Ramiro was the most popular distributor of the Ramzes blood and the most frequented sire in Germany. The Dutch bestowed the title - 'Horse of the Year' on Ramiro in 1992.

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.
