Since we begun the build up of our mare herd, we have been looking for a mare out of the Schwarze-Schwalbe-family to complete our breeding program. In spite of being one of the most proven mare families, the Schwarze-Schwalbe-bloodline has become quite narrow in the breed and we were lucky to find this beautiful Schwalbenburg granddaughter Schwalbenfreude. 

Her sire Sir Shostakovich xx (now deceased 2004) not only founded a new young stallion line through his sons Donaumonarch, Sir Chamberlain, Couleurfurst, Zenturio, Mataro, Chateauneuf and Best Before Midnight, he also produced some of the most successful competition lines like the International three-day-event-horses Longchamps (Olympic Sydney 2000) and Lester Piggott. 

Schwalbenfreude’s Dam Schamar is a full sister to the famous Schwalbenlust (now deceased 2004), one of the real great ladies of the Trakehner breed. She counted among the highest quality brood mares when alive and was Supreme Champion of several National shows. Schamar herself was competing successfully in dressage and show jumping up to advanced level. Schamar’s mother Schwalbenburg by Ibikus “the most influential and highest quality brood mare over the last 40 years “as breeding manager Lars Gehrmann called her,” produced among the four graded sons Schwadroneur by E.H Arogno, so this makes Schamar a ½ sister to Schwadroneur now deceased (2004). Schamar’s sire Enrico Caroso is the Sire of Kostolany, which has had so many wonderful graded sons and daughters. They are competing in all disciplines at high levels.
