Bond James Bond MB was also approved at the Durham, Maine, inspection August 2nd 2008. He is the first son of the Grand Prix stallion Oskar II, a Russian import via Denmark, and more or less a 3/4 brother to the late Dr. Klimke's exceptional international dressage stallion EH Biotop. The combination of heavy doses of Arabian and English TB on the basis of a Trakehner mare family is a common breeding principle in Russia and has resulted in that particular stud book representing Trakehners at the Olympic level in all three disciplines - more than can be said of any other Trakehner stud book in the world. Hockey alone had over 40 international competitors among his get, up to the Olympics, and is represented by the young Trakehner stallions Prints Finest and Lowelas in Europe and now Bond James Bond MB in North America.
Dam Barina by Graditz *E* is one of the very few descendants of the great dressage stallion Peron TSF worldwide - Peron won Team Bronze at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and comes from the very same dam line as another highly successful (and sadly deceased) dressage stallions: EH Partout, who was the most substantial of all approved Arogno sons and put the line on a new level through his sons EH Monteverdi TSF - Oliver Twist - Grand Passion, champion in Neumünster 2007.
