Brentano II was champion stallion at the stallion licensing in Verden 1985 and runner-up in the stallion performance test in 1986. He is by the famous sire Bolero, who was a foundation sire of very top class. Bolero always passed on to his progeny nobility, excellent movements and a high talent for dressage. Brentano II is probably his best siring son. Like his father, he is a very rideable dressage horse and highly esteemed as a hereditary transmitter of rideability and rhythmic motions. One of Brentano's successful dressage offspring is the mare Brentina (rider: Debbie McDonald, USA), who convincingly won the individual and team gold medals at the Panamerican Games in 1999, and who in 2001 achieved the highest grand prix score ever by an American horse. At the 2002 Olympics, McDonald and Brentina achieved two seconds and a third in individual events, and led the USA to team silver. Brentano II is also the sire of Bona Dea II, who was Champion mare 2000 at the famous Hanoverian broodmare show, the Ratje-Niebuhr-Show. Brentano II was chosen Hanoverian Stallion of the Year 2003.
