Herakles

Herakles (born 2009) is a black Trakehner stallion who stands as one of the most significant ambassadors for the "Gribaldi" line. As of early 2026, he has reached the pinnacle of his career, recently being named the 2025 Trakehner Stallion of the Year—the highest honor bestowed by the Trakehner Verband.

Standing at 171 cm, he is a horse of immense presence, combining the "electric" mechanics of his sire with a reliable, powerful engine from his Danish maternal roots.

Stallion Performance Results

Herakles has proven himself as a high-performance athlete with remarkable longevity in the international arena.

• Licensing Highlight: He was the Reserve Champion of the 2011 Trakehner Licensing in Neumünster, praised for his "limitless" elasticity and shoulder freedom.

• Trakehner Stallion of the Year (2025): Awarded at the Neumünster Licensing in late 2025, this title recognizes his double success as an international Grand Prix competitor and an elite sire.

• International Grand Prix Career: Throughout 2024 and 2025, Herakles has been a consistent competitor at the CDI4 level* under riders like Paula de Boer-Schwarz. He has achieved over 11 Grand Prix victories and 35+ placings in the "S-level" (Advanced) classes.

• Elite Title: He was officially awarded the "Elite" title in 2020, a distinction reserved for stallions who prove their worth through both their own performance and the success of their offspring.
