Flaneur was Reserve Champion of the 1967 Körung
at Neumünster, and was approved with the comments: "Exemplary model
with much significance in the whole appearance. Typey head; good neck; well-positioned,
broad, and well-muscled shoulder; good and uniformily conditioned body. Strong
and correct in the foundation with good, straight movement. The stallion
has proven himself to be a predictable, above-average sire." Performance
tested at Westercelle 1968, Flaneur was highly scored and described as follows:
"Quiet, very balanced temperament, playful but good in character. Constitution
tight and firm. Good rideability, balanced, uncomplicated and comfortable
to ride. Better than average jumping ability; good overall performance ability;
good ground-covering walk, swinging and correct trot, well-balanced loose
canter. A stallion with many possibilities." His impact on the Trakehner
breed is great, having sired 15 graded stallions in Germany (the most important
generally considered to be Arogno) and 106 Stud Book daughters, including
the States Premium Mare Maharani II (dam of Elite Stallion Mackensen and
full brothers Mahagoni and Marlon) and Elite Mares Kanconette and Karawane
II. His descendents are sought after for competition, and his son Troubadour
was Christine Stückelberger's reserve mount for the Seoul Olympics.
Flaneur died in 1988.
