Trakehner for Life – Plattform!
The two friends and entrepreneurs, Karl Ochsner and Dominik Hartl, have known each other almost all their lives and have been interested in horses, especially the East Prussian Warmblood horses of Trakehner origin for just as long.
The signal to start the common initiative and the business model “Trakehner for Life” was given by the purchase of the Trakehner Champion Stallion, Perpignan Noir, who was bought at auction at the stallion market in Neumünster in 2015. Shortly afterwards, the marketing of the next exceptional stallion, Lebenstraum followed, this time with the focus on Show Jumping horses.
Additionally, a special marketing platform will be created. Here, breeders will have the possibility of marketing Trakehner for Life´s stallions offspring internationally.
The Trakehner for Life platform is intended to develop into an international Point of Sale for Trakehner horses of highest quality.
Dominik Hartl
Dominik Hartl`s passion for Trakehner horses was instilled upon him almost in his cradle by his mother, Christa Hartl, passionate breeder of Trakehner and thoroughbred Arabians. It is her foundation that builds the breed for the future. The current stock consists of 10 horses, including the high-quality parent mare HC Arleen with her two daughters Amalia Argentina (Qualified for the World Championship for Young Eventing Horses 2020) and Allegra Argentina (Best of 4-year-old mares Bavaria/Austria 2020). The top mare Esperia (Champion Mare Bavaria/Austria 2016, 1st Reserve Champion NMS, SLP Champion) is also integral part of the exquisite kennel. All horses are or were successful in national and international eventing, show jumping and dressage sport and are characterised by performance, nobility and best interior. Dominik Hartl is also author of the diploma thesis “Trakehnen – on the social and economic history of an East Prussian Breeding Operation”.
