The genetic defect Warmblood Fragile Foal Syndrome (WFFS) has unsettled many breeders for several months now. Understandably, the breeders and the Trakehner Verband demand transparency on this sensitive topic. Trakehner For Life has therefore initiated the test for both stallions and can now give the breeders with the negative findings the absolute certainty that neither PERPIGNAN NOIR nor LEBENSTRAUM carry the causative mutation for the WFFS in the LH1 gene. We will gladly send you a copy of the report on request.

In the March issue of the magazine DER TRAKEHNER, Trakehner Breeding Director Lars Gehrmann describes the foals of PERPINGAN NOIR as follows:
Almost all the children from the first year of the champion stallion Perpignan Noir had the special type of embossing of the father recognized in terms of nobility and expression. This also applies to other features, such as the shapely, large-scale and somewhat narrow body, a lot of essay and uphill in the movement with shoulder room and a first-class gallop, the long legs with striking texture in not too large joints and the overall charisma that they spray through their appearance.
Trakehner For Life is pleased about this very positive evaluation of the premium year and is looking forward to the upcoming foals 2018!
