Wanda's father, the Celle State Stud Stallion, Warkant, was the 2002 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year. Born in 1983, he was the winner of the licensing of the Hunnesruck stallions.  He started his breeding career in 1987 and from 1993 to 1998 he was stationed at Celle where he was one of the stars of the Celle stallion parades because of his excellent basic gaits and expressive trot.  Warkant's offspring caused a sensation at auctions and competitions.  37 of his offspring were the best horses at their auctions and 13 of them sold for top prices of more than 50,000 Euros. Warkant is the sire of 46 State Premium Mares and his daughters have passed their performance tests with excellent results.  9 of his sons have been licensed.  It follows that Warkant achieved a top breeding evaluation of 156 points and he is one of Hanover's top quality dressage stallions.

The use of Warkant on mares by the Hanoverian Stallion of the Year 1999, Eiger 1, has proved to be a winning combination.  The stallion Wilberforce who sold for DM 400,000, Wanessa who became Bundeschampion in 1991 and Windsor Queen, dam of the 2002 Bundeschampion, Londonderry, who is full sister to Wanda.
