A couple of his most famous offspring are WALZERTAKT ridden by R. Dover, USA dressage and WARUM ridden by G. Wiltfang in jumping.
Her dam RICOLA is a very elegant and powerful moving mare. Her sire REMARKABLE descends from a very noble, blue-blooded, heavily Trakehner influenced lineage. His sire, REMBRANDT, was the champion of the 1979 100-day performance test in Adelheidsdorf, Germany. His grand sire, FLANEUR, produced 15 approved sons and is highly regarded for his high dressage index. He also sired the stallions TROUBADOUR, ridden by Christian Plaege (USA) and ISTANBUL, who produced the 1989 Derby-champion, GOLDKORN, ridden by Hugo Simon, to name just a couple. FLANEUR has proven himself to be not only one of the most consistent stallion producers, but he has also produced some outstanding mares, such as MAHARANI II, the mother of MAHAGONI, MARLON and MACKENSEN. FLANEUR is by MAHARADSCHA, whose most famous daughter was ABIZA, the dam of AMIGO, a Pan American Games bronze medalist in eventing, and ABDULLAH, a gold medal winner in show jumping at the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Also in his sire's pedigree is the legendary Trakehner-approved thoroughbred stallion POET XX. He produced MARCO POLO, one of the best stallions in the Netherlands. MARCO POLO sired some very highly prized show jumpers, the most famous being the speed horse VIVALDI, ridden by Melanie Smith and Caroline Bradley's jumper MARIUS, who sired the world famous MILTON and IRCO POLO, the sire of IRCO MARCO, a Swedish international show jumper.

On his mother's side, we also find the Stempelhengst IMPULS, who sired 16 approved stallions and who is highly regarded for producing excellent dressage horses with good ride ability, such as the Olympic horses IMANUEL and DAHLWITZ. He is also the grand sire of IBIKUS, who made an enormous impression both in West Germany, where he stood as a young stallion, and later in Denmark. IBIKUS has several approved sons such as RAUBRITTER, KAWANGO, IBI-BELL and MIDT WEST IBI-LIGHT, the winner of the 1988 100-day performance test who is now being ridden by Kyra Kyrklund of Sweden.
