for my sister Julia Wetton and foundation stallion for
our Trakehner mare herd. He was by the famous
stallion Flaneur and out of Idyll. His bloodlines combined both dressage and
jumping and he bred 2 grade A show jumpers while in our ownership (one called
Impact II) He also was the sire of the Grandprix jumping horse "Goldkorn"
ridden by Hugo Simon. He bred very good moving horses and some of the progeny
bred by us went to Prix St George in dressage. He also bred some outstanding
mares who were awarded premiums at their grading, some of which are still in our
herd.
