Ganges - born three years after retirement of equerry von Burgsdorff - represented the ideal image of the mixed bloodlines horse, as it has always been the goal of von Burgsdorff.
His offspring had often somewhat delicate and long legs, but all were marked by excellent gaits. Unfortunatelly, he left many of his progeny ugly ear part.
