About Hokuspokus
Performance Record
The judges' licensing remarks on Hokuspokus were as follows: "This palomino son of Brioni, featuring Trakehner and the finest Russian Arab blood on his father's side alongside a mix of warmblood and Akhal-Teke on his mother's side, is a superbly composed example of a stallion in this noble horse class. Considering the opportunities for sportive uses, this stallion stands out not only as a noble horse with a large frame and harmonious build—precise in every aspect—but also for his exemplary clean 4-beat walk, defined by relaxed strides and significant hind leg overreach, making him an excellent representative of this category. His trot exudes confidence and style, demonstrating an impressive jumping technique, as he glides effortlessly with a swinging back and nimble feet, while his canter remains effective. He possesses three good gaits, talent for successful jumping, and boundless potential, earning a commendable score of 7.8 for licensing." Hokuspokus became the champion stallion in the German Noble Blood category.
Hokuspokus boasts an impressive performance record, complemented by a notable pedigree. His career began with a professional rider in Luhmühlen, the heart of German eventing. Despite strong local competition, Hokuspokus amassed a significant collection of ribbons in showjumping and eventing allowing him to qualify for the prestigious German Bundeschampionate in eventing as a 5-year old.
He was licensed in Alsfeld by the ZSAA in 2008 and completed his successful stallion performance test a year later, which included dressage, show jumping, cross country and distance. Before relocating to the UK, he competed to CIC* level in Germany. Hokuspokus is a rare German-licensed sire with a valid performance test for pink papers.
