Polarmond
German Approved 16.3 Grey 1979 ATA Stallion Polarmond, by Erlkonig out of Polarmeer, was bred and born at the Trakehner Gestut Rantzau in 1979. After his approval he was then imported to Canada by Guenter Bertelmann, where he was then approved by the Canadian Hunter Improvement Society. After standing at stud there for several years, he was purchased by Barr Trak Farm of Columbia, Missouri and became a popular producer of dressage and jumping horses in the Midwest. He has the distinction of being one of four Magnet grandsons standing in the United States, and possesses and produces the movement that Magnet was so famous for. At the age of 17 he came to Klarmond Trakehners where he has continued to produce fine foals and provide great enjoyment for his new owners as "The King" of the farm. For ten years he lived with his constant companion Zeitgeist, a bright chestnut daughter of Preussengeist x Zitzewitz, and they raised their foals together in the paddocks that they shared together. When she passed in February 2006 at the age of 28, he took her loss very well and continues to show great interest in his life, including the mares and foals along with all of the activities in the barn. At 28 years young, Polarmond seems more like a 10 year old horse because of his lively ways and continued supple movement. He is a wonderful inspiration to all who know him.
