INTERNAL CHARACTERISTICS
In 2007, the Trakehner breed will celebrate its 275th anniversary, making it the oldest riding horse breed in Germany which has long been acknowledged as an original breed, even internationally.
Genetically, the Trakehner breed can be traced back directly to the foundation of the Main Stud in Trakehnen by royal decree of the Prussian King in 1732. Even to date, Trakehners are the only riding horse breed bred in accordance with the principles of pure breed, with a high genetic proportion of English and Arabian thoroughbred, Shagya and Anglo-Arabian, and in keeping with the selection criteria set out below.
The Trakehner Verband's (Trakehner Association) mission is to promote this original breed in its particular, Trakehner-specific form and to ensure the best possible progress in breeding through appropriate action.
The breeding goal is a riding and sport horse of Trakehner type that is rideable and talented for many uses, with good interior values.
Undesirable are, in particular, horses that are difficult to handle, nervous, timid or cowardly.
Also desirable are robust health, good mental and physical resilience, natural fertility and freedom from genetic flaws.
