Tanzeln
Premium ATA Trakehner Stallion
March 5, 2000 - 16.3h Dark Bay

by Enrico Caruso Ps*E x Tannenelfe *E* / Pregelstrand *E*

2008: # 45 on USEF Sporthorse Breeders Sires List - one of only 2 Trakehner Stallions to be in the top 50 (after only 3 foal crops)

Tanzeln is a lovely stallion with three excellent, well balanced gaits. He received a 9 on both his walk and his canter (most important for a dressage career) and an 8 on his trot from the ATA Inspection Committee. His temperament is excellent and he has a wonderful work ethic.

Tanz's sire, Enrico Caruso *Ps*E* is one of the top Dressage producing stallions in Germany and sired the well-known Trakehner stallion Kostolony. Tanzeln's dam line is that of Dankeschön III, known for producing significant stallions, with a strong foundation, great lines and impulsion in all gaits -- this is the family of Schöner Abend, Schwarzdorn and Tannenberg.

Having completed his performance requirements, Tanzeln trained and showed through 3rd level dressage until an untimely injury forced his retirement from competition. NOTE: He's back in full training and will be showing again by late 2010/early 2011.

Tanzeln's offspring are living up to their sire's great promise. His 2005 filly Kiera took an 81.5% and reserve championship at her very first in-hand show (at 8 months old). She has gone on to win multiple in-hand championships and in 2008, scored well in 3 year old filly Materiale. Kiera in 2009 won multiple materiale and training level classes with scores to 80%. She placed 5th in USDF 4 yr old materiale and won the Region 9 Open Training Level Championship. She has her sire's wonderful work ethic, a loving disposition and great gaits.

Comments by ATA Inspection Committee

Very good, fluid, supple, ground-covering walk. Good trot with rythmic uphill movement. Very good, balanced uphill canter with reaching hind leg engagement.

Good willing jumper showing good technique and bascule. Relaxed way over jumps.

Excellent temperament in a middle weight stallion. Good athleticism and movement in all the gaits. Should help mares who need movement and athletic ability.

Special thanks to Russell Oden, Ida Anderson, Willette Brown, and especially Kendra Menzies - all who have helped us immensely and loved Tanz in the process over the past several years.

Special from the very first day...
