Biotop

The Trakehnerhengst Biotop who performed internationally under Dr. Reiner Klimke was recognized by the KWPN in 1999. The recognition means that he fully meets all the requirements of the KWPN: exterior, pedigree, performance, and veterinary requirements (X-ray, laryngoscopic, and semen examination).
Mind you, his performance does not lie:

1993 Westphalian Champion
94/95 Champion of the Volvo World Cup Europe
1996 Bronze at German Championships
1996 Silver with the German Team

In addition, Biotop started with Dr. Reiner Klimke at many international competitions such as `s-Hertogenbosch, Bremen, Münster, Wiesbaden, Aachen, Los Angeles, etc. and achieved many victories here, which earned him a winning sum of approximately €115.000,-.
After the death of Dr. Reiner Klimke, Biotop was successfully ridden for another 2 years by his daughter Ingrid, who increased Biotop's life winnings by €25.000.-!

Biotop was bred on the Russian gestüt Kirow, where the famous horses Topki, Almox Prints, Blesk, and Hockey were born. Gestüt Kirow is in second place on the World Breeders List 1990/98 with the horses: Biotop, Podhod, and From Russia with Love.
