2022 Gelding
This tall dark and handsome gelding is one you will fall in love with. 13 months old and measured 15.2 hands. I am guessing he will be close to 17h when finished. He is a super sweet guy, easy going and friendly. Handled regularly. Farrier and vaccines current.
Sire:
Gaudi SSF
GAUDI is the first and only Totilas offspring standing in the USA. Imported in January 2018 by Shooting Star Farm, his dam is the elite preferent prestation mare Annabel, by De Niro. Bred by the Jansen family at Stable Joppe in The Netherlands, Gaudi has an exceptional pedigree. His dam also produced the KWPN licensed stallions Bretton Woods and Chagall D&R, and from these same dam line comes the licensed stallion Four Legends KS. Annabel leads the KWPN index for dressage mares. She has produced top sport and keuring horses.
Dam:
Pearleske By Rotspon (2017 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year.)
Rotspon was a 1995 born stallion by Rubinstein out of Antalia (by Argentan I x Pik Bube I x Wendekreis). He was bred by the late Hans-Heinrich Müller and owned by State Stud Celle.
Reserve Champion
As one of the last direct sons of Rubinstein, the black stallion became the reserve champion of the 1997 Hanoverian Stallion Licensing, where the state stud Celle acquired him. They named him Rotspon, a tradition-rich North German expression for high-quality red wine.
Rotspon went on to win the 300-day stallion performance test (HLP) in Adelheidsdorf in 1998 with an overall score of 145.67 points. He scored a dressage index of 148.72 points and for show jumping he got 118.74 points. He beat 1997 licensing champion Londonderry at the time (though Londonderry already became Hanoverian Stallion of the Year in 2013) and breeder Hand-Heinrich Müller received the Freiherr von Stenglin-Award in 1999 for Rotspon’s HLP victory.
He sired 31 licensed sons in Germany (of which 20 made it into Studbook I), amongst them U.S. Olympic team horse Rosevelt, Rascalino, Royal Blend, and Re Primeur. He sired 122 state premium mares, amongst them first crop mare Romanze, winner of the 2002 Ratje Niebuhr-Show in Verden.
His most successful offspring in sport are Rosevelt (Alison Brock), Rose Response (Nuno Palma e Santos), Rodrigo III (Mary Hanna, Tayla Desmet), Rolex (Maike Mende), Renoir (Nina Rathjens), Riva del Garda (Anja Hermelink), Rom (Carola Koppelmann), Roman Lifestyle W (Hermann Burger), Rosenstolz (Qabil Ambak), Rotspon’s Rockin (Kaya Probst), Woodlander Rockstar (Eilberg), Rapallo CL (Maite Colling). Other well known offspring are Proud Rocketti, Rudi XXL, Rapture R, Rotano, Rachmaninoff, QC Roberto Cavalli, and Sabbatik Rubi.
