The Trakehner

Part of the Allen Breed Series traces the eventful history of the Trakehner from the beginning of organized horse breeding in East Prussia to its pre-war peak, and its subsequent regeneration after the dramatic wartime flight. Chapters include the bloodlines, the use of Trakehner blood in other warm-blood breeds, the modern development of the breed in West Germany, its establishment in Great Britain and the United States of America, and its sporting achievements.
