Palais de Dance (aka Pikee)
Born 1983, appr. 16.2 hh (169 cm), died 2005
Darkbrown Hanoverian mare by Pik Bube I - Paradox I - Frühschein - Astrachan

   
 

"Palais de Dance" by Pik Bube I was a very successful competition horse (winning up to 3rd level in dressage with an amateur rider and placing in the ribbons over fences as well.), before starting her second "career" as a broodmare at age 13.
She has been accepted into the German Equestrian Federation's Elite Studbook (FN Leistungsstutbuch), Section B (show results) and Section D (productivity).

Her sire, Pik Bube, was a genius on the international dressage scene with a series of overwhelming successes. He's also well known as the sire of many licensed and proven stallions. Under Herbert Rehbein, Pik Bube won 11 of the 12 advanced dressage tests that he competed in. The full-brothers Pik Bube 1 and II are well know for their particularly versatile off-spring, you will find them competing in dressage to Grand Prix and Jumping up to the International S-Level. Pik Bube was licensed in Verden in 1975, and was Vice-Champion at his 100-Day Test at Adelheidsdorf in 1976.

Pikee's 2nd dam "Pergula" by Paradox I (another stallion legend, whose life-size statue stands on the grounds of the North Rhine Westphalian state stud at Warendorf) is full sister to "Pampero 2," a very successful Grand Prix jumper in the 1980s under Hans-Georg Johannsmann.

3rd dam "Fama" is by the Hanoverian stallion "Frühschein", who unfortunately died very early in his breeding career, siring only 13 registered mares and the legendary stallion Frühling , one of the greatest stallions ever for Warendorf, who laid the foundations of many international showjumping horses through his sons Frühlingsball and Frühlingstraum I and II.
