Meraldik and Eufrates Approved for Trakehner Verband
January 24, 2006
 Two
new stallions have been approved to breed for the Trakehner
Verband. Meraldik and Eufrates. At a
special approval meeting in Augsburg, Bavaria, January
8, 2006, the Verband inspected three stallions and
accepted two. The Lithuanian bred Eufratas
(by
Chapun x Cheopsas),
and Meraldik (by Münchhausen
x Caramel xx) were licensed, the eventer
Osharin's Peron (by Peron x Handryk) was not.
Meraldik is the third approved Münchhausen son
for the Trakehner breed (of which two are out of thoroughbred
mares). Meraldik's dam Herka xx is the full sister
to the late top producer Heraldik xx and she foaled
the
licensed
Oldenburg stallion Royaldik. Meraldik's approval
is pending as he needs to pass his 30-day
performance test first. The stallion will
be stationed at his breeder, Gestüt Birkhof in
Donzdorf, Germany.
The 14-year old Eufratas was bred at Gestüt Nemunas
in Lithuania and imported to Germany as a dressage
horse. Under young rider Eva Maria Hinze, the chestnut
stallion competed at international Prix St Georges
and Grand Prix shows. Though Eufratas got accepted,
he will continue his performance career and it is unclear
when he will be available at stud.
