About Hokuspokus

  The judges' licensing remarks on Hokuspokus were as follows: "This palomino son of Brioni, with Trakehner and the finest Russian Arab blood on his father's side and a mix of warmblood and Akhal-Teke on his mother's side, is a superbly composed example of a stallion in this class (noble horse). Considering the possibiliies of 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 clean 4-beat walk - marked by relaxed strides and significant hindleg overreach - making him an excellent representative of this category. His trot is confident and stylish, demonstrating an ability to glide effortlessly, with a swinging back and nimble feet, and his canter is effective. He possesses three good gaits, a talent for successful jumping, and the finest leg technique, with boundless potential: 7.8 and licensed." Hokuspokus was the top-rated stallion in his category.

Hokuspokus boasts an impressive performance record alongside a notable pedigree. His career began with a professional rider in Luhmühlen, the heart of German eventing. Despite stiff local competition, Hokuspokus amassed a significant collection of ribbons in showjumping and eventing.
