LEBENSTRAUM was discovered, brought up and broken in as a yearling by his owner Karl Ochsner, then trained specifically by Harald Siegl, the Austrian Olympic eventing rider.
In his first competition under Lea Siegl, the stallion was noteworthy not only due to his appearance, character and motivation, but above all due to his jumping prowess and behaviour. As the youngest participant, he was continuously in the top 3, or winner, both in cross-country and in show-jumping events.
The stallion is the epitome of the ideal modern sporting horse.
Speed, manoeuvrability and the absolute desire for flawless jumping are his distinguishing features.
The Trakehner breeding board became aware of the stallion in summer 2015. On their advice, LEBENSTRAUM was enrolled for a 50-day test for show-jumpers in Adelheidsdorf in Lower Saxony. Although the only Trakehner, he presented himself with complete confidence and finished his performance test with a weighted jumping-emphasised note of 8.24. A 10 for his motivation, a 9.75 for his anatomy and an 8.5 both for rideability, behaviour as well as overall impression speak for themselves.
LEBENSTRAUM, just as his grandfather, HEOPS, combines external beauty and high performance with absolute motivation and furthermore handles completely problem-free, thus making him a truly exceptional horse.
