Bloodlines:
Her dam is Her Royal Highness, an Official Stud Book approved purebred Trakehner mare by Karneval:

Karneval, approved in 1975 in Germany, has many performing offspring in many disciplines. His sire Ibikus, was renowned for his amazing gaits and impeccable movements. Ibikus had a tremendous impact on the overall performance of the Trakehner breed by his huge influence of successful sons and daughters. Ibikus' sire Impuls was also of legendary status, and has been said to be "the most important breeding stallion of the postwar era". Her Royal Highness had a career in dressage before retiring due to a stifle injury:

Her Royal Highness, or 'Lexi", is a good, quiet mare with an excellent mind and she seems to pass this on to the offspring. They are very people-oriented. Her movement before she was injured was excellent, but you can see the hitch in her stride at this time, though it didn't affect her inspection scores! She is ATA AND Hanoverian approved, and was high-scoring non-Hanoverian mare at that inspection, even though she was aged when presented. She was also aged when she was presented to the ATA, but she still scored well. She is a very nice mare, medium-sized mare, and seems to produce the like, so I estimate Princess will be medium sized, despite her sires' large size.

Her sire is Buckle Down Ben: 16.2hh GSW thoroughbred sporthorse stallion, with an AMAZING work ethic and huge, correct jump. Unfortunately, he died before he could be re-presented for approvals, but we know he would have continued his name for his foals in sport as well as in racing.

Princess herself is absolutely THE SWEETEST, most agreeable filly. My 8 and 10 year old daughters dote on her and she will come up to ANYONE in the pasture, loves the farrier, loves to be groomed, is a doll for deworming and any type of handling. She will be registered with the ATA and is eligible for inspection into the Preliminary Stud Book (at age 3). She has nice movement, and is very athletic. I anticipate she should mature to around 16hh, although she could go in either direction.She has a TON of body, and is a brave filly. String tests to 16hh+ at only 8 months old!
