“LEBENSTRAUM” was discovered as a yearling by his owner Karl Ochsner and his breeder Ted Wezel (Schralling). The stallion was raised, broken in and trained specifically by the Austrian Eventing Olympia rider Harald Siegl.
At his first sporting appearances under his rider Lea Siegl, the stallion not only impressed with good looks, character and willingness to perform, but above all with his jumping ability and manner. As the youngest participant, “LEBENSTRAUM” always scored in the top 3 and won both off-road and on the course. The dual-rated stallion is currently extremely successful. He wins on a regularly basis, both nationally and internationally in terms of versatility as well as in jumping and dressage tournaments (see latest news). The stallion corresponds to the ideal of the modern sport horse. “LEBENSTRAUM” is characterized by speed, agility and his absolute will not to make mistakes on the jump. In 2015 the Trakehner breeding management became aware of the stallion and “LEBENSTRAUM” was registered for the 50-day test for show jumpers in Adelheidsdorf, Germany.
He was the only Trakehner stallion, sovereign enough who finished his performance test with a weighted jump-stressed final score of 8.24. A 10 for his willingness to perform, a 9.75 for his interior and an 8.5 for rideability, manner and the overall impression speak for themselves.
Fact is, “LEBENSTRAUM” just like his grandfather “HEOPS” in terms of exterior beauty and high performance, paired with unconditional willingness to perform, is also completely problem-free in handling which makes him truly an exceptional horse.
