The
fullbred West German Trakehner of today is clearly recognizable
by its famous brand, the double moose antler
on
the left hindquarter, a brand that has been used since
the original days in East Prussia.
It
is this brand which still clearly tells the world that
the bearer is a true Trakehner horse, bred within the
Trakehner breeding goals and ideals that have been preserved
and restored at great emotional and physical expense.
During
the
Trek, the registration papers of many horses
were lost, but mares carrying the moose antler brand were
known to be fullbred Trakehners, and therefore, accepted
as such into the reestablished registry. Still today,
in the earlier generations of Trakehner pedigrees, one
can occasionally find a horse with unknown ancestors but
with the notation, "mare branded with double (or
single) moose antler, papers lost due to events of war."
The
following mares, bred at Claratal Stud carring
the moose antler brand.
