Glimmer received a score of 8.0 on her inspection and was the high score mare at her inspection in 1993. Her sire is the famous Grundstein, also sire of Gold Luck. Her dam, EM Pik Koenigin (Pik Bube-SPS Salona/Saloniki) was champion mare, Moorpark, Calif., 1986, champion performance test, Moorpark, Calif., 1987, and Region 3 Champion, Training Level, Fla., 1996. She also produced Graefin (also by Grundstein) who was Champion mare with 8 on her gaits score at the Oklaoma inspection, 1992. 

Glimmer never did the Mare performance test for her former owners. She is therefore only elite eligible. Glimmer is by Gold Luck’s famous sire, the legendary Grand Prix Dressage Stallion Grundstein, who was imported to the US in 1985 after siring 13 fully approved breeding stallions in Germany. He has been the leading sire in the FN rankings among stallions in the top 10% of their age group in both jumping and dressage since 1988. In 1995 Grundstein's dressage index was 178 and his jumping index was 142.
