We’re thrilled to welcome a very special new addition to the FireFox family !!
EZEKIEL (ex El Presidente), 2019, 173 cm, Black Trakehner Stallion, approved by the Trakehner Verband in Stallionbook I. He did his stallion test in Schlieckau in 2022 with the mark 7,8, in 2024 the 50-day-test in Schlieckau with the mark 7,97 and the two-day stallion test in Stadl-Paura with the mark 7,25 in the same year.
This talented 6-year-old Trakehner stallion by Bourani (by Fairmont Hill – Singolo) x St.Pr., Pr. and Elite mare Emma Peel by Kentucky, bred by Gabriele Pothen) will begin his next chapter under the exceptional guidance of Joshua Johnson and we couldn't be more excited about what lies ahead. Ezekiel also marks an important addition to our lineup of breeding stallions, and we're proud to offer U.S. breeders access to this outstanding pedigree right here at home.
His hereditary dam Emma Peel was the champion mare of the central mare registration with 58.5 points and was awarded the titles premium and state premium. She represented the Trakehner Association at the German Elite Mare Championships in Lienen. Emma Peel was also admitted to the Trakehner Association's national mare show in Neustadt/Dosse in September 2014 - there she won the title of YEAR'S WINNER MARE against strong competition from all over Germany. In 2024 she received the title ELITESTUTE due to her successful offspring in sport and breeding. Emma Peel was accepted into the TOP group of the GP program (GP = targeted breeding), a breeding program of the Trakehner Association that gathers the mares that have proven themselves the most in terms of sporting and breeding performance. Emma Peel is one of the best daughters of the elite stallion and champion stallion Kentucky, who has made a big name for himself in Trakehner breeding as the father of numerous top mares and successful riding horses. On his mother's side, Ezekiel connects with Kentucky and Summertime, furtheron Michelangelo - Caprimond - Anduc - Hartung and Jonkheer xx famous sport horse sires - a bloodline of sporting exclusivity! Ezekiel’s brother Escalon (2015) by Fairmont Hill out of Emma Peel has several successes in Dressage S, sister St.Pr.u.Pr.St. Elijza by Helium won several medium dressages and competed 2025 first time succesfully in eventing.
His sire, Bourani, comes from a traditional and now rare performance line. His dam, the premium mare Basima, qualified for the Bundeschampionat for eventing horses in Warendorf at the age of five and then moved to the USA. The impressive and powerfully moving Bourani was licensed in Neumünster in 2017. As a three- and four-year-old, he won the Trakehner Riding Horse Championships. He passed the 50-day dressage test with a score of 8.02. With Laura Strobel in the saddle, he achieved fourth place against strong competition at the Bundeschampionat for four-year-old stallions in Warendorf. The following year, he qualified for the Bundeschampionat for five-year-old dressage horses. He has since achieved great success in dressage horse tests up to medium (M) level.
Here's to the journey. This is just the beginning.
