Pik As

Pik As ("Ace of Spades") was a horse who was a very influential sport horse sire, especially in show jumping.

Pik As was most known for his ability as a sire, passing on his beautiful movement and a great jumping ability.

Pik As stood at stud from 1952-1969. He produced great jumping horses, and was influential in the breeding of warmbloods in Germany during his lifetime. His damline contained Postenkette, dam of Pindar xx (private Trakehner stallion), Parenzo xx (Warendorf state stallion), Pernod xx (Westphalia private stallion), Playmate (Warendorf state stallion) and Perser (Celle State Stud), a full brother to Pik As. All these stallions became very influential in their areas.

Descendants:

  • Mr. T: 1986 World Champion jumper
  • Aramis: 1984 World Cup winner
  • Pik König: producer of show jumpers and dressage horses
  • Pik Bube: with Herbert Rehbein, won 11 out of 12 competitions in his first season alone
  • Pik Bube II
  • However, the stallion's influence has diminished in recent years.

    Beach Boys

    by: Beach Boys

    Unfolding enveloping missiles of soul
    Recall senses sadly
    Mirage like soft blue like lanterns below
    To light the way gladly
    Whether whistling heaven's clouds disappear
    Where the wind withers memory
    Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
    Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
    Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
    Unbending never ending tablets of time
    Record all the yearning
    Unfearing all appearing message divine
    Eases the burning
    Whether willing witness waits at my mind
    Whether hope dampens memory
    Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
    Feel flows (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
    Feel goes (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
    Encasing all embracing wreath of repose
    Engulfs all the senses
    Imposing, unclosing thoughts that compose
    Retire the fences
    Whether wholly heartened life fades away
    Whether harps heal the memory
    Whether wholly heartened life fades away
    Whether wondrous will stands tall at my side
    Whether whiteness whisks soft shadows away
    Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
    Feel flows (Black hot glistening shadowy flows)
    Feel goes (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
    Feelings to grow (White hot glistening shadowy flows)
    White hot glistening shadowy flows
    White hot glistening shadowy flows
