00 Seven is sired by the legendary dressage stallion
Rubinstein I, who performed himself at Grand Prix level. European studbooks are
full of his many approved sons. The dam of OO Seven is Gelbria (ster,
preferent) who is a full sister of the famous Olympic Barbria, and they have
the renowned dressage horse producer Doruto as their sire. Another full sister
Ezabria was UTV champion of the three year olds in 1989. This pedigree has
produced numerous show ring and dressage stars. OO Seven is more than
sufficiently well developed, he has a good rectangular model and is a stallion
who radiates presence. The report of his stallion performance test in autumn
1999 states that OO Seven is very willing to work. The trot is light footed
with a lot of tact and balance. The canter is spacious and extremely well
balanced. OO Seven shows a lot of ability as a dressage horse. In 2001 a group
of OO Seven’s progeny were shown, they have a light footed trot with enough
space, the hind leg is active and the foreleg use is more than sufficient. The
walk is regular and spacious enough. The bone foundation shows sufficient
quality. In the final of the Pavo Cup 2000, OO Seven was reserve champion in
the four year old class. In 2001 OO Seven was selected for the World
Championships for young dressage horses in Verden.
In the final of the Pavo Cup for five year olds, OO Seven with Imke Bartels was
reserve champion and the press write up was “Beautifully lined horse with
extra movements, suppleness, tact and balance.” OO Seven participated
successfully in the stallion competitions 2001/2002 and achieved second place.
In December 2002, OO Seven was the very convincing winner in the final of the
Amev –Hippo Cup in Maastricht
