Holme Grove Prokofiev German Graded and 100 Day Performance Tested Trakehner Holme Trakehners purchased HG Prokofiev from Germany as a 3 year old where he had already been earmarked by the Trakehner Verband as a stallion worthy of standing at National Stud. Luckily for the UK, Holme Trakehners managed to buy him and in doing so, have introduced one of the most exciting young sport horse stallions in Europe to British Breeding. Used very exclusively, he is producing some outstanding youngstock. Owned

Performance Holme Grove Prokofiev was graded in Alsfeld January 1998 with judges comments including,"..a considerable talent for jumping. Very good walk and trot with much power and perfect knee action. Excellent canter. Presents himself well with very little nerves." Already showing great talent and ease of character under saddle with dressage rider Julia Wetton he passed his 100 Day Performance testing in Germany in October 1999 scoring 9's for temperament, rideability and attitude to work and 10 for stamina. In his first competition season in 2002 he qualified for the Summer Regional Championships at Elementary, Medium and Advanced Medium Level. He was 2nd at the 2003/4 Winter Regional Championships at Medium level and has qualified for the Winter Finals, ridden by Peter Storr (see comments below from Horse 26th Feb 2004) - Addington Manor - ".... The medium qualified also went to Peter, this time riding Julia Wetton's Holme Grove Prokofiev on their first outing together. Julia who trains with Peter, is expecting a baby, so handed the ride to him..." Midlands Semi-Finals - "... Peter Storr gave the eye-catching stallion Holme Grove prokofiev a good ride in the Medium Open to take second place. He took over the reins only 3 weeks ago from Julia Wetton, who is on maternity leave..." He is now competing at PSG level. Click here for a list of HG Prokofiev's dressage results HG Prokofiev’s first crop of foals were born in 1999. All his progeny are taking his wonderful elastic movement and easy temperament and promise a great future under saddle as the first to be backed have shown very trainable attitudes.
HG Prokofiev’s sire is the Russian thoroughbred stallion Beg xx, who has retired to stud in Bavaria after many years firstly winning money racing on the track, show jumping to the equivalent of Grade A level whilst at the same time winning Grand Prix Dressage competitions in Germany. Beg xx stands in the same stable where Holme Trakehners foundation stallion Holme Grove Istanbul stood before he came to England. The same stable manager has worked at the stud now for more than 25 years who said of Beg and I quote "He is a fantastic stallion with great character, a dream!" Pilar
III is by the Grand Prix Dressage stallion Goldino
who has already produced two graded sons in Germany from his first
crop , they are Up To Date (Goldino – Bartoldy – Holme
Grove Istanbul) and Reserve Champion and Premium Graded Uljanoff
(Goldino – Holme Grove Istanbul – Harlekin) who sold for
DM250,000. He was only upstaged by a half brother to Goldino both
being out of the same mare Gondola II (who interestingly was a surviving
twin) by Ibikus. This time however she had been bred to Kostolany
to produce Gribaldi
who was awarded Champion Stallion and sold to Holland for DM300,000,in
the same year. Very closely related also to Goldino is the Advanced
Dressage Stallion Van
Deyk currently competing with Dorithee Schneider, he also is
by the TB Partricius xx out of an Ibikus daughter.
