M-Foal 2026

Anglo-Trakehner foal due 2026, bred for eventing and showjumping

Trakehner

TRAKEHNER ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA
EH Abendtanz / Suave xx / Unaccounted For xx

The foal’s sire, Elite and Premium black stallion Abendtanz was bred by Heinrich Behr, Buchholz. He was ranked in 2020 statistics as the most successful show jumper sire in the Trakehner breed and tops the ranking of the best dual-purpose stallions (meaning both the dressage and jumping indices are above 100, dressage 104, jumping 120). He is also a top sire regarding the breeding index of basic gaits based on mare inspections—his daughters produced indices above 120 in all three gaits. Abendtanz was approved in Neumünster as a premium stallion in 2009. He passed an excellent 70 day test, and in 2013, Abendtanz qualified for the Bundeschampionat for German Show Jumpers, an M-level class. That year, he also won the National Trakehner Show Jumping Championships. 

Throughout his competition career, Abendtanz successfully show jumped up to 1.40 meter with wins in large youngster classes against the top of the German Hanoverian, Holsteiner and Oldenburg breeds. As a sire, Abendtanz is a force to be reckoned with. Right from the get-go, he produced auction foals and Premium daughters with excellent under-saddle performance tests. To date, he has sired four approved sons: Gorbatchow, Donauabend, Lebenstraum, and last but not least, the incredible Sweetwaters Ziethen TSF, Champion in the 7 year-old yr old class at the FEI World Championships at Lion d’Angers in 2020. Abendtanz is a son of the S level show jumper Hirtentanz, and has a high quality dam as well. Amazing TSF successfully competed at M** level during her active career. The family has produced advanced level performance horses in all disciplines.

The foal’s dam Miss Minto xx (Missy) brings significant athleticism bred over generations, with every ancestor in the second and third generations (sires and dams) having lucrative racing records. She herself had a successful career on the track with $40k+ in winnings over 40 starts.

Missy was bred by Daniel T. O’Ryan and born in Maryland in 2010. Her sire Suave xx had a 27-7-6-2 record with earnings of $1,348,423. Foaled May 11, 2001 (KY), Suave xx was sired by the black-type winner AP Indy xx, with $3M in career earnings, who was in turn sired by Seattle Slew xx, the first undefeated American Triple Crown champion. Suave’s dam Urbane xx had 18 Starts, 8 Wins, 4 Places, and 4 Shows with career earnings of $1,018,568.

Missy’s dam Dirty Harryette xx had a 7-11-8 record with $170k+ in winnings over 50 starts. Her sire Unaccounted For xx had a 17-6-4-2 record with $1M in earnings over 17 starts. Dirty Harryette’s dam Clever Act xx had a significant record as well, with 32 Starts, 8 Wins, 6 Places, and 6 Shows; her career earnings were $288,899.

Breeding Notes

The foal has two lines to the legendary Trakehner stallion Kostolany with a blood percentage of 18.75%, both from the sire Abendtanz. This will bring a solid temperament, athleticism, and hardiness to the pedigree. Ibikus following at 7% will reinforce temperament and improve gaits while ensuring beautiful type, rideability, and hardiness (in fact, we believe the talent and rideability that characterize double-gold Olympic champion Dalera comes in part from linebreeding to Ibikus). Finally, five crosses to Maharadscha at 2% blood percentage add beauty, elegance, and rideability. Maharadscha was of great importance to the Trakehner breed in the post-World War II period, as a grandson of the significant Arabian stallion Fetysz ox. Maharadscha sired 11 graded sons and 82 studbook mares, including German Elite mare Abiza (dam of Abdullah) and Fawiza (dam of Falke and Fabian). The German Stallion Book lists the following comments: ‘Extraordinarily beautiful, expressive stallion with Arabian stamp, but in a large format. Very pretty face, much neck, thoroughly sufficient girth; the way of going is elastic and swinging; the stallion shows the best inclination for riding.” The foal’s thoroughbred heritage is anchored by famous black-type legends like Northern Dancer xx, Bold Ruler xx, Nasrullah xx, Nearco xx, and Native Dancer xx, ranging from 3% to 1% blood percentage, which we expect to greatly enhance the foal’s athleticism in the ring.

Comprehensive Breeding Analysis

Based on the video of Miss Minto’s daughter by Uno Don Diego, which demonstrates exceptional scope and a powerful, round bascule, the cross with Abendtanz is upgraded to “Elite.”

The video proves that Miss Minto xx does not merely “allow” scope—she contributes it. Even when bred to a stallion known more for Dressage/Movement (Uno Don Diego), she produced a horse with the range and power to jump the top of the standards easily. Breeding her to a dedicated jumper sire like Abendtanz (Hirtentanz) should amplify this trait further.

I. SUMMARY

The “Iron Horse” Formula

This cross utilizes Hybrid Vigor to create an athlete with unshakeable soundness and elite performance metrics. It combines a Thoroughbred mare from a family of “Iron Horses”—proven by 40-50 racing starts—with a Trakehner stallion known for “sensational jumping ability” and rideability.

Video Analysis Insight: The video of the Uno Don Diego filly is definitive proof of Miss Minto’s prepotency. The filly shows immense scope, cracking her back over the fence with plenty of air to spare. If Miss Minto can produce that degree of jump with a Dressage/WB sire, breeding her to Abendtanz (by the 1.50m jumper Hirtentanz) creates a “Super Jumper” pedigree. You are stacking the “A.P. Indy” jump on top of the “Hirtentanz” jump.

IV. DETAILED GENETIC ANALYSIS
1. Structural Engineering (The “Iron” Skeleton)
  • The Issue: Many modern Warmbloods are bred for “Flash” over “Function,” leading to soundness issues.

  • The Fix: Miss Minto xx. Her pedigree is a “soundness factory” (Suave xx 27 starts; Dirty Harryette xx 50 starts). The video of her daughter shows a big horse that handles her own size effortlessly.

  • The Outcome: Breeding this “Iron” genetic base to Abendtanz (Trakehner toughness) creates a foal with exceptional bone density and soft tissue resilience.

2. Performance Synergy (A.P. Indy x Hirtentanz)
  • The “Jump” Validation: The video of the Uno Don Diego filly changes the conversation. It proves Miss Minto doesn’t just produce “Eventers”—she produces Show Jumpers.

  • The Upgrade: If she produced that scope with a Dressage stallion, breeding her to Abendtanz (who is by Hirtentanz, the only Trakehner to compete at 1.50m against Holsteiners) creates a “Double Jump” pedigree.

  • Result: A horse with the Scope of a Warmblood and the Heart of a Racehorse.

3. Temperament & Trainability
  • Synergy: “Competitive Drive.”

    • Mare: A winner on the track ($40k+). She understands the job.

    • Sire: “Strength of character”.

    • Result: A horse with the “will to win” required for 5-Star competition.

4. Risk Assessment
  • Size Management: The Uno Don Diego filly is 17h. Abendtanz is 16.2h. There is a real risk this foal grows very large (17.2h). While excellent for a professional, it limits the amateur market.

  • Late Maturation: Big, scopey horses with this much Thoroughbred blood often take time to “fill into” their frames. This is a long-term development prospect, not a quick flip.

 
V. MARKETABILITY & BUYER PROFILE

Target Demographic: Upper-Level Eventers & Show Jumpers.

  • Strengths:

    • Scope: Confirmed by video evidence of sibling.

    • Size (17h): A massive selling point for high-end buyers.

    • Soundness: The pedigree screams “Longevity.”

  • Weaknesses: None significant, other than potential massive size.

  • Verdict: A+ (Elite). This is a rare opportunity to buy a foal with “Old School” toughness and “Modern” scope.

 
VI. FINAL RECOMMENDATION

Status: APPROVED (Highly Recommended)

This is a superior mating. The video evidence of the Uno Don Diego filly serves as a “Proof of Concept”—Miss Minto xx is a true “Blue Hen” producer of scope and size. Breeding her to Abendtanz is a strategic upgrade that reinforces the jumping genetics while maintaining the durability and nobility. Ideal for a 5-Star Eventing prospect.
