Trakehner gelding, born 1999 By Helikon / Onassis
Breeder: Walter Elxnat
Cookie showed us with his win at the 2004 Bundeschampionat that he has the quality and talent required to become a top eventer. He has 3 good paces and is blessed with an effortless gallop as well as being a very careful jumper. He is very brave, performs willingly and always does exactly what needed in the cross country. It is only in the dressage where we are yet to be thoroughly relaxed. Cookie always needs calm, patient and considerate handling, not only when ridden, in general he needs reassurance and enjoys a little bit of extra TLC. In December 2007 Cookie was sold to England, where is ridden by William Fox Pitt. We hope he continues to go well in the future under his new rider.
