The horses Black Lightning Horses Inc. breeds and raises are Trakehners, one of the oldest breeds of Warmbloods in Europe. The ancestry of the Trakehner breed can be traced back more than 400 years. The breed was one of the first ones in Europe to be developed for riding rather than for driving or pulling the plow. By crossing more refined breeds like Arabians and Thoroughbreds (racing horses) with the local heavier horses, the East Prussians created a versatile riding horse that was often used in the cavalry because of its spirit and bravery.

Today, this elegant and beautiful horse is often used to improve and refine other riding horse breeds. Trakehners first made their mark in the discipline of dressage by winning gold and silver at the 1924 Olympic Games. While they compete mainly in dressage and eventing (a combination of dressage, cross-country and stadium jumping), the great, white American Trakehner Abdullah won his 1984 Olympic gold medal in show jumping. In 2004 several Trakehner horses competed again very successfully in the Olympic Games.

 

History





Hymnar is an impressive black stallion standing at almost 16.3 hh. His beautiful face with the small ears shows clearly signs of Arabian ancestors. Especially his gorgeous top line is always praised at inspections. A solid fundament with strong joints, straight feet and good hooves support a well- proportioned body. He has an excellent temperament, loves affection and is easy to handle.

This stallion has three outstanding gaits with a gorgeous walk, an expressive trot and a well balanced canter that earned him always high marks. He is also an outstanding jumper who simply loves to jump. He was shown successfully in Germany jumping at 3'9" and free jumps 4'6" or higher.

He produces mainly black foals and all of his foals grow to become tall horses. He passes his size on to foals even of small mares. His offspring also inherit his easy-going nature, high rideability, floating gaits and talent to jump. He always sires well put-together foals with beautiful heads and improves any mare. He is a very potent sire and usually the bred mares are in foal after the first heat.

Hymnar is approved as stud in Germany with the Zuchtverband für Deutsche Reitpferde (Breeding Association for German Sporthorses) and also approved in Canada by the Canadian Trakehner Horse Association.
