Painted Black is a son of chic black Trakehner stallion Gribaldi (see stallion page).

His mother is the Keur mare Litchy who competed at Z-class dressage. Lichty is a daughter of the Olympic dressage stallion Ferro. Grandmother Vrona was also successful in the dressage, and from this strain there are a number of Z & ZZ dressage horses.
