Libitina is a stunning 16 hand black mare who is graded into both the Trakehner and Oldenburg Studbook. She is by the stallion Beatos who is best known as the original Lloyds Bank’s black horse and she is out of a Thoroughbred dam. Libitina's great grandsire Hill Gail was a successful American racehorse who not only won the Kentucky Derby in 1952 but also went on to sire Champion racehorses.
She is one of the Stud’s foundation mares and has produced some outstanding offspring. She bred the 2006 Best British Bred Trakehner and Young Stock Champion Larkshill Lexington. Her foals have been very successful at the in hand dressage young horse classes. At the British Dressage National Foal Show both Lakota and Lexington both scored 82% and were the highest placed Trakehners in their year. Legend came second at the British Dressage Young Horse Breeding Championships as a yearling. Her 2007 foal His Royal Highness by Champion stallion His Highness received the prestigious foal Premium award by The Oldenburg Verband and is being kept as a stallion prospect.
Her 2008 foal Larkshill Limited Edition was awarded a First Premium Award at the BEF British Breeding Futurity. She scored 9.5s, 9's & 8.75s for all categories with a final score of 8.90 -just missing the Elite title by 0.1%. She was the 3rd highest scoring horse in the Dressage category, just behind big sister Supremacy and both qualified for the Elite Championship Show.
In 2005 Libitina received the recognition she deserves for producing outstanding progeny when she won the Trakehner Breeders Fraternity’s Mare Family Championship, along with her daughters Larkshill Lakota by Kostolany and Larkshill Lexington by E.H. Hohenstein.
Libitina consistently produces big moving, sweet natured horses with correct conformation – who happen to be drop dead gorgeous too!
August 2008
At the BEF British Breeding Elite Championships Carl Hester named her the
2008 British Breeding Champion Dressage Broodmare out of 16 mares! We were so delighted, one more Championship title to add to her growing list! Libitina was particularly pleased as she had beaten Sky who was the Reserve Champion!
