Beauty, Nobility, and Elegance: The Fascination of the Trakehner Horse

Once you know the history of this horse breed, it captivates you and doesn't let go easily: Trakehners have always impressed with their elegant appearance, unique character, intelligence, and endurance.

To this day, despite nearly facing extinction after World War II, they have lost none of their radiant aura. They truly represent a living legend. Anette Ganter and Katharina Knapp take you on a journey with this illustrated book into the world of the Styrian Trakehner stud farm Murtal, which has provided a proud home for these horses since 2013. The authors begin with an overview of the nearly 300-year history of the Trakehner horse and the development of the successful stud farm. Following this, stunning impressions from daily life with the horses invite you into the picturesque world of the Murtal Trakehners.
