Sire: Woermann
Dam: Pik Dame
Full pedigree below
AWHA reg
HANOVERIAN STALLION, 1979, Black/Brown, 174cm, licensed and performance tested .
A true ‘Chef de Rasse’ or ‘Main Sire’. Besides World Cup he was the only other licensed son of Woermann. Woermann is
the founder of the most popular Warmblood bloodline in the world. For almost the last two decades this sire line has
dominated Hanoverian breeding and has strongly influenced Warmblood breeding all over the World. Main
representatives of this lineage are: World Cup II, Warkant, Wenzel, Walt Disney, Weltmeyer, Wolkenstein II, Weyden,
Wolkentanz I & II, Welt Hit I & II etc..
Winterkoenig’s genetic make up contains a very rare threefold combination of the W/F line through Woermann and his
second and third sires on his dam line, Wolfsburg and Ferdinand, all leading back to Fling, one of the pillars of
Hanoverian breeding. Winterkoenig’s pedigree is further strengthened by his highly rated maternal sire Pik Koenig, the
sire of the very important Pik Bube.
Winterkoenig sired a number of highly rated and prominent dressage horses (eg Wiking, representing AUS at the WEG in
Rome, winner on FEI level in Europe) as well as internationally successful eventers (eg Waitangi Wind under Heelan
Tompkins, NZ) and a broad band of valuable broodmares.
Deceased 2006.
