Rhodium descends from a family
rich in dressage blood, as well as jumping ability. His mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother all earned very high jumping
marks on their mare tests. Rhodium is a very well developed and
extremely harmonious stallion that stands in a perfect
rectangle. At his performance test the judges made the following
comments: “Rhodium is a very well-modeled stallion that has a
good forehand and strong upperline. His legs have lots of
quality. His pace as well as his trot has natural wide
space. Rhodium trots with lots of imprint and tact. When
galloping we see the same good results as when trotting. The
natural ability of Rhodium to become an excellent dressage horse
is enormous.” He received 7 for walk, 8 for trot and 9 for
canter and was judged sufficient over fences. Rhodium’s sire
Olympic Ferro was the catalyst for the Netherland’s team silver
Olympic win. Rhodium’s grand sire Le Mexico comes from some of
the oldest and most successful jumping and performance
bloodlines and traces back to Furioso. Rhodium is already
proving himself and his offspring are carrying on his
tradition. A few of Rhodium’s performance highlights are listed
below:
