Hofrat, Hotline's Trakehner sire,

is a son of the international Grand Prix dressage stallion EH Gribaldi. Himself champion of his approval (in 1995), the black stallion is a "keur" stallion for the KWPN and a strong international competitor with Dutch Edward Gal. Through his sire Kostolany (Champion NMS 1987) he is a member of the Pasteur xx-Mahagoni stallion line. That particular stallion line has produced the Olympic Bronze medalist Peron TSF (M. Gibson/USA) as well as the international dressage horses Chronos ( Denmark ) and Marlon (France). Kostolany's sire Enrico Caruso stands for high rideability and great performance in his get and can be found in the top of the USDF stallion lists in the past years. Hofrat's dam, who also produced the Reserve Champion Hoftänzer, is a daughter of Guter Planet, a son of the impeccable major sire EH Consul with a very good reputation in Hanover .

Hofrat is another beautiful black son of the stallion GRIBALDI. Hofrat is full Trakehner. The blood of the Trakehner is consolidated over generations, so stallions tend to be prepotent in stamping their offspring.

The dam line of Hofrat is excellent. He is a wonderfully elegant, good sized stallion, with dynamic movement and the highest willingness to work. He shows excellent balance and rhythm, combined with maximum freedom of shoulder. He has good suspension and impulsion from his hindquarters and a supple, swinging back.
