Tempelhüter is one of the stallions registered in Milva´s bloodline.
He is by Perfectionist out of Teichrose.
Tempelhüter, who was chief sire in Trakehnen 1916-1931 was considered as the perfect example of the Trakehner horse. As illustration of his unrivaled significance, a statue of this magnificent stallion was erected in front of the Castle at Trakehnen where it remained until being taken as war booty to Russia after World War II. It was placed in fron of the Russian Horse Museum in Moscow. An exact replica of it was made possible in the early 1970s by efforts from Hans-Joachim Köhler, and in a very special moment, was introduced to the public in front of the Horse Museum in Verden, Germany.
At that time, the last horse originally born at Trakehnen, the chestnut stallion Keith by Pythagoras out of Ketzerin by Ararad, born in Trakehnen in 1942, was present (well into his 30s), and more than a few eyes were wet that night!
Vilken häst! Pythagoras är ju välkänd, har träffat flera hästar som var efter honom. Mycket fina kan jag säga.
ReplyDeletedu har definitivt träffat fler trakehner än mig. men sa har du ju ocksa bott i tyskland ;)
ReplyDeleteDet är nog inte så konstigt :-), stallägaren till ett stall där jag var ett tag hade bara Trakehner :-) han tävlade hoppning, Frun dressyr, båda på elitnivå. Så de hade en hel del fina trakehner kan jag säga:-) Fast Milva är ännu vackrare !!!!
