Covering history: Altenbruch from 1954 to 1966, Frankenburg 1967 to 1971, Baljerdorf 1972 to 1973, put down in 1973

The chestnut Senator was a handsome stallion and although he was only of medium size, his appearance was nevertheless one of generous proportions in length and size, with correct conformation, ample neck and shoulders, good hooves and excellent motions. In short, a stallion of type that was seldom seen during the mid 195Oies. The siring of this top class genetic transmitter was more or less a coincidence: The exceedingly handsome Semper I dam who was bred at the principal stud of Trakehnen left little of import in Hanover apart from Senator and in Senator‘s year of birth was transferred to the Holstein stud of Traventhal as a state stallion, where he also did not leave any tracks. The dam Allerweltskleid was a solid, heavy mare, with a less than aesthetic head. The product however was a bullseye! The traditional and widely distributed damline whose branches lead into contemporary horse breeding, is based on the mare Alarcona (by Alnok-Juwel-Isary) and produced inter alia, the sires Corrado G (privates stallion Baden-Württemberg), Godewind (Celle state stallion) as well as the full-brothers Walentino (private stallion Oldenburg) and Weltsporn (private stallion Westphalia, Netherlands). Senator‘s siring career began in Altenbruch at the gates of Cuxhaven, belonging to the Hanoverian selective breeding area. He presented 40 approved sons and numerous highly decorated show mares. Even if he oftentimes still transmits his own advantages to his progeny, the Trakehner nobility is nevertheless “watered down“ relatively fast in the succeeding generations in contrast for instance to the Abglanz / T son Absatz, who is a good comparison here. Senator‘s most significant stallion sons were undoubtedly Sender, Sesam 1 and with a few reservations perhaps Senat. The latter merely had a four year covering period at the showjumper covering station of Sphietau in the Hanoverian Wendland, where he sired outstanding showjumpers and is still represented in the region in numerous bloodlines today. Sender first covered in Drochtersen, where Senator was also born. His best-known stallion sons were Saloniki, Salut, Seelöwe, Sendbote and Senussi. In the Emsland, Sender presented top showjumpers such as Sarto 3 / H.W. Johannsmann, Soltau / Bernhard Kamps and Sethos 2 / Norbert Koof. The Sender genotype has been conserved up until today via Saloniki, Salem and Salvano. Silvano‘s sons Sherlock Holmes and Salieri are increasingly distinguishing themselves as sires, thereby increasing the likelihood of the continuation of the bloodline in the male line. Sesam 1, who like nearly all the approved Senator sons was chestnut coloured, left an outstanding base predominantly in Oberndorf. This is where the unprecendentedly strong performance horse Servus was procreated. Sesam 1 produced chestnuts of all colour vaniations and all sizes. His son Servus frequently created “blonde chestnuts“ who often aroused attention through their not so positive looking exterior. Some of them were woody and stiff, but more than anything, they could jump extremely well. As a result of such criteria, it was to be expected that it would be difficult to recruit stallion sons by Servus. Three promising progeny have nevertheless been able to be recruited with the successful competition sports horses Slibovitz and Spartan and the latter‘s son Stakkato.
