Rheingau |
Rheingau is a stallion hard to beat from the standpoint of descending
from a superior sire line and mare family. Rheingau was second at his
keuring in 1997 and also second at his stallion performance test. In
1999 he was in the final round at the Bundeschampionate for four year
old stallions, and in 2000 was again in the final dressage round for
five year old stallions. He has come by this talent honestly, being
sired by DLG premium stallion, Rheinblick, who comes from the Holsteiner
line 173, from which descends Latus I and II, Capitol I and II and many
other exceptional stallions. Rheinblick was sired by DLG winner,
Romadour II, the sire of the outstanding Rembrandt, Rockafeller and
Renoir I, to name a few. Rheingau's dam, "Verband Premium
Mare," Mascha, is a full sister to the sire Marcolini and her
damline is renowned for the ability to produce stallions such as
Dagobert, Gold Dollar, Lucius, Noble Boy, Servus, Vagabund, Van Eck, Van
Gogh and many others. This damline has also produced sport horse stars
like Verest, Werra 24, Düenelfe and Ascona. Third dam Pinka is by Pik
König. |
