TRAVERSE RED
2006 Chestnut Trakehner Colt
(Sonset's Sieger x Tarika by Kaspareit)
TRAVERSE RED (aka "Tobey") arrived in the early hours of May 19, bright, strong, and possessing amazing stamina. Leggy and elegant, Tobey reminds us very much of his dam Tarika at his age.
Vivacious and inquisitive, Tobey has great interest in the world around him. At just a couple days old he is people-friendly and loves "groomies." In turn-out with his mom, Tobey leads the charge to a harmony of his delighted whinnies and Riki's deep nickers as she calls "Come back here, Kid, I am trying to eat grass!"
Tobey's conformation is excellent. His impressive topline flows through his medium-length back to a smooth, solid loin connection and large, powerful hindquarters with a strong croup, long hip, and long and forward-angled femur. His laid-back shoulder joins a long humerus in ideal sport horse angulation, leading to his straight legs with short, strong cannons.
Tobey's pedigree combines some of the best performance bloodlines in the Trakehner breed. His sire, Sonset's Sieger, himself a proven competitor in eventing and jumping, is by show-jumping's superstar, Abdullah, and out of a mare by the great Habicht. Tobey's dam carries the blood of the foundation stallions Ibikus and Impuls through her sire, Kaspareit, as well as Mozart, Avignon II, and Prince Condé.
With a genetic foundation proven in dressage, jumping, and eventing, and his outgoing personality, Tobey is an excellent competition prospect.
Tobey is offered for sale at $12,000; Special consideration to a home where he will remain a stallion candidate.
