Ibikus had been aquired at his home stud in Webelsgrund by Otto Langels and was presented under saddle, winning several German National Titles with his rider and trainer Otto Langels. It was in Hämelschenburg that the great "nick" between Ibikus and Impuls daughters was discovered and lead to perfection. Ibikus was later sold to Denmark, where he stamped the Trakehner and local warmblood breed to quite an extend as well. Ibikus' most important son was also the one that looked the most like his famous sire: Wie Ibikus (out of Wanja by Carajan). Equally successful with Otto in the saddle, this stunning sire passed away after only 2 breeding seasons.
