The
brown Traumgeist xx, foaled 1953 at Gestüt Waldfried
by Goody xx out of Traumkind xx by Aventin xx, was a stallion
of great beauty and had the best riding horse points; he had a
very well balanced, cadenced way of going in all phases and the
best temperament. He must be called a first-class progenitor of
the Trakehner breed. His 50 Stud Book registered daughters and
seven valuable sons give testimony of the great genetic power
of this Thoroughbred stallion who was equipped with the best riding
horse traits. Among his daughters, the black mare Schwarze
Schwalbe, dam, among others, of the stallions Schwalbenlied,
stands out in particular. Traumgeist's sons are Unikum (Sweden),
Schwarm (Denmark), Schöngeist, Kampfgeist, Traumkönig,
Hirtentraum, Lockruf I (Denmark) and Lockruf II. Hirtentraum was
gelded because of infertility and is presently, under Uwe Sauer,
one of the best dressage horses in the world. The most recent
successes of this top dressage team are a first in Intermediaire
II and two seconds in a Grand Prix and a Kur at the Hamburg Derby
on June 13 and 14, 1981.
