Warthburg, relation on Landa's sire's side, came from the stem No. 275 and accumulates the performance genes of Ethelbert, Aehill and Cicero, who are responsible for laying the foundation of the Holsteiner Sporthorse as the world's leading jumping stud book. Warthburg was born in 1962 and was bought as a weanling by Baron Friedrich Christian de Kielmansegg. After a competition career as a jumper, she produced Jenni, by the Thoroughbred stallion, Little Lion xx - Jenni is the dam of Orchidee, who was a member of the gold medal winning German jumping team at the Seoul Olympic Games with Dirk Hafemeister. Orchidee in turn was the dam of Avion (Athlet Z) ridden in international competition by Ludger Beerbaum.
Warthburg then produced six foals by Ladykiller. Landgraf was
born in 1966, the following year saw his full brother, Landgraf II who was sold
to the south of Germany where he was gelded! Under the name - Leon III - he was
on to compete at Grand Prix level with Manfred Schlusselburg. In the following
two years, the fillies Eva and Frederica were produced - Frederica when bred to
Farnese produced the licensed stallion, Fridericus. In 1970 Warthburg produced
another filly, Landgraffin who was ridden in the 70's and 80's by Hugo Simon,
winning many speed and puissance classes. Bred to Cor de la Bryere, Landgraffin
then produced the stallion Cash, who also competed internationally with Simon
before his death at the age of 10 while competing at Aachen.
