Traxdata Mulligan and Step’s Helsinki (bred in Lituania) also jumping internationally with Peter Charles and John Whittaker.

There are mentions of winning Trakehners in Horse & Hound nearly every week now, as they become more widely established in Britain. At the end of 2000 there were in excess of 150 Trakehner Horses registered with the BHD and actively competing on the National Circuit. Approx. 90 in Dressage. 40 in Show Jumping and 20 or so in Eventing.
