Myoora Aurelius and Alice: well done in your first start at EA 80 level! He certainly looks like he has plenty of scope to go on up the grades. Proud to have bred such a lovely Trakehner. Trakehner Zuchtbezirk Hessen

Trakehners Australia grading tour 2024:

7 week old c**t foal, Myoora Neugraf, (Nicconi Rebel xx- EH Grafenstolz TSF ifs) was graded and entered into the Trakehner Verband foal book with a premium score of 80%.

We are delighted, and believe this c**t is “one to watch”. He is friendly and calm, but has “the moves” to follow in his great father’s footsteps, and we think has really nice structure.

Trakehners Australia grading tour 2024:

Nicconi Rebel xx (Nicconi- Happy Rebel (Show a Heart)) was presented for grading with her 7 week old first foal, a c**t by EH Grafenstolz TSF ifs, named Myoora Neugraf.
“Rebel” is far from behaving like a rebel, and is doing a wonderful job as a first time mum. She stands 16.2 hh and is beautiful with good movement (though she felt the hard ground on the day).
She was graded by into the Trakehner Verband Mare Studbook 1, with a score
of 74.29%.

4 week old filly foal, Myoora Abendtänzerin (Anna Baabella xx- EH Abendtanz ifs) was graded and entered into the Trakehner Verband foal book with a premium score of 77.86%.

We are delighted with this beautiful filly, who even at this young age seems to have the moves and “star quality” to become a great performer.

Anna Baabella xx (So You Think xx- Baa Baa Jet xx (Jet Spur xx), was presented for grading with her 4 week old first foal, a filly by EH Abendtanz, named Myoora Abendtänzerin.
This lovely mare is 17hh, has a wonderful temperament, and is proving to be a great mother.
She was graded into the Trakehner Verband Mare Studbook 1 with a premium score of 78.57%.

A very happy and successful day for us presenting 2 mares and 2 foals for grading during the Trakehners Australia grading tour, so it was a “small tour” for us this year.
The resident kelpie pack were of great assistance setting up the enclosed trot up area.
The mares were both maiden, off the track thoroughbreds. Both were graded and entered into the Trakehner Verband Studbook 1. Nicconi Rebel xx with 74.29%, and Anna Baabella xx with a premium score of 78.57%.
The foals:
Myoora Neugraf, c**t was 7 weeks old (Nicconi Rebel xx- EH Grafenstolz TSF) scored premium with 80%.
Myoora Abendtänzerin, filly was 4 weeks old (Anna Baabella xx- EH Abendtanz) scored premium with 77.86%.

Our thanks to Matthias Werner for again making the big trip to Australia to grade our horses and advise on breeding. Also thanks to Mareike Winkler-Harth for her expert assistance in the free movement assessments.

Separate posts about each of the mares and foals are coming soon.

Post:event thoughts:
It was a pleasure to attend this great event and enjoy the lovely working farm venue in Inverleigh Victoria.
It was a privilege to sponsor the 95b class, a class where I think you see the raw talent of the horse/rider combination becoming refined and confident and on the way to higher classes.

There were Trakehners competing on the day, but not in the winners' circle, and in the 95b, Trakehners Australia member, Jennifer Bowker rode the stunning BMS Katapult, looking good but not their day and not in the placings.

It was pleasing to see the class won by Jodi Goyne riding I'm A Gem. Not a Trakehner, but it was a combination I had been admiring in the showjumping and on the XC course, a lovely mare and a lovely rider. Well done Jodi!

Congratulations to the organising committee, the volunteers and to the generous property owners for making the venue available.

Maybe a Trakehner will be in the placings next year...

We would like to thank Myoora Trakehner Stud , for sponsoring one of our classes this year!

Myoora Trakehner Stud is a small farm near Ballan in Victoria

Horses and Trakheners in particular are the passion. These horses are smart, sociable, athletic, trainable and very, very beautiful. Trakehners are simply the best.

Trakehners were established as a closed studbook in what was then East Prussia in 1732. The only allowed outcrosses are Thoroughbred, Arab or a combination, and they have to be pedigree approved for 6 generations to be classified as pureblood. Trakehners were and are and bred as multi purpose horses, riding, carriage and military. The horses have to be bold, trainable, and athletic. There is a reason the Trakhener jump is so named! They are competing internationally at FEI level in Dressage (Dalera BB for example), Eventing and Showjumping.

The Myoora Trakehner journey started in the mid 1990s with the purchase of a very beautiful filly weanling by Solo II out out a Wesuw mare. Best horse ever! Now, there is a breeding herd of selected mares, Trakehner, Thoroughbred, Arab and Anglo Arab , combined with the best Trakehners available in Australia and imported frozen semen from Trakehner Verband licenced stallions. The aim is to produce equine athletes for the FEI disciplines.

The dream became reality in 2016 with the start of the serious Trakehner breeding program, program and now there are 4 to 5 year olds getting out there in competition homes, and more available for the right owner-riders. They are not available to first come first served, they are available to those who “match” their talents and ability.

The Myoora 5, 4 and 3, 2 and 1 year olds have been paddock raised in herd groups and allowed to be horses. The are showing pure Dressage quality movement and the hardiness needed to gallop and jump.

We are members of both Trakehners Australia Inc and the Trakehner Verband eV. The horses are not heavily promoted or advertised.

Very proud of the 7 horses presented for Trakehner Grading this year! Five foals and two mares.

Both the mares are pure Arab, registered initially with AHSA. Only Arab and Thoroughbred (or combination ie Anglo Arab) are allowed outcrosses on the closed-Studbook Trakehner breed, and such mares (or stallions) need to be graded for their quality before being admitted into either Trakehners Australia Studbook A, or the Trakehner Verband Studbook 1.

Magelica, a beautiful mare bred by Mulawa Arabians, is now in the Trakehners Australia Studbook A, meaning her foals by Trakehner stallions can be registered as Trakehners. She has a very beautiful filly by Gwarryen Orion (Schwartzgold-Pr.St. Woodcroft O’Neill (by Cadeau), who is now a yearling, named Myoora Magique who will now be registered with Trakehners Australia Inc.

Anteguana Al Amiera (aka “ the Polish Princess”), is a pure Polish Arab, imported in utero. She is now graded and entered into the Trakehner Verband Studbook 1. Her Polish bloodlines are phenomenal, and Myoora is fortunate to have her on breeding lease. She will go back to her owner when her foal Myoora Aminah is weaned to breed a pure Arab foal. She will be very missed here, but her filly Aminah (by Craig), is a keeper, so her legacy here will continue. She also has a very striking yearling c**t by Gwarryen Orion named Myoora Alnitak (a star in Orion’s Belt), who will be further handled, then looking for a new home.

The foals:
Myoora Alkira: born in a thunderstorm on 5/11/22, black ( but still has the weird coloured foal coat in the pics. By Elite Hengst Latimer, out of BMS Alethea. Finally, a Latimer filly for the Myoora keeper herd! She scored premium and goes into the Trakehner Verband foal book.

Myoora Nijinsky: black c**t by Elite Hengst Latimer, out of Shady Oak Night Wind xx who graded premium into the TV Studbook 1 in the 2020 tour. Nijinsky has a “ballet” name as he is so elegant and moves beautifully. He graded premium and enters the Trakehner Verband foal book. While lovely, he will be looking for a new home after weaning.

Myoora Florence: filly born 28/11/22, first foal from her lovely mother Pine Mountain Florida, and by Gwarryen Orion (yes, Orion is a favoured sire here). She scored premium and entered the Trakehners Australia foal book.

Myoora Aminah, very beautiful filly out of Anteguana Al Amiera, by Craig, a TV licenced stallion. Everything hoped for! She enters the Trakehner Verband foal book. She did not get a premium score, she was at the vet in the week leading up to grading being treated for a tricky abscess, so she was lame on the day. She is now healed and parades around like the princess she is.

Myoora Vista, c**t born 14/1/23, so only 11 days old at grading. out of Tallyho Miami and by Craig, he is both beautiful and athletic. He scored premium and goes into the Trakehner Verband foal book. He will look for a new home after weaning.

So, after two years with no tour possible due to Covid, this year was a great re-inspiration.

Stay tuned for the 2024 tour where there will be a lot of the Myoora 5, 4 & 3 yo mares presented, as well as a c**t, plus the 2023 foals!

Many thanks to:
Matthias Alexander Werner for grading for TA and for TV, and also for spending your time with us and sharing your invaluable expertise and advise for future breeding here at Myoora.
Warren Schutz, President of TA Inc, who travelled on tour, also thanks for your time and advice & expertise.
Trakehners Australia Inc committee for making it happen.
Trakehner Verband e.V. for, well, being “everything” for Trakehners, and supporting us here in Australia.

Long live the Trakehner breed in Australia.

Happy Horses’ Birthday!

Happy birthday Trakehners in Australia!
You weanlings are now yearlings;
You yearlings are now 2;
You 2 year olds are 3 and really big kids now so time to learn big kid skills;
You young horses competing go up a class and also learn new skills and are much more developed than last year;
You mares are looking really round and ready to love and raise the new foals;
You breeders, owners and riders: longer days are starting, Spring is coming soon, however much and whatever you do with your Trakehners: breeding, raising, training, riding for pleasure, competing… pause a moment to look uncritically at the beauty and talent of your Trakehner, then… go enjoy their company, beauty and athleticism.

Wishing all the best to all Trakehners, breeders, owners and riders. Whatever you do with your Trakehner, they make you enjoy life that much more.

A proud time for all Trakehner breeders! These gorgeous, talented, clever horses are just the best! ( bias showing here, I know, but true).

Die Trakehner Zucht erfordert spezifisches Wissen und Können rund um die Trakehner Pferde, eine traditionelle Reitpferdeart, die bis heute in allen Reitdisziplinen vom Breiten- bis zum Spitzensport vertreten ist.
