Raffaello - Hanoverian Stallion

Raffaello is an imported 16.3hh 100 day tested an approved Hanoverian stallion. He is by the proven producer Raphael, sire of numerous top level international jumping and dressage horses including Rio Grande, Radiator, Robinson, Ravallo, Raggazzo and more.

Raffaello's dam, Fiola, is by the recently deceased Foxhunter (Spruce Meadows). Foxhunter produced Fortunas an Olympian in the showjumping in Athens 2004. Foxhunter's sire Watzmann produced an Olympic gold medallist, Walzerkonig. Foxhunter's dam carries the blood of both Inschallah and Absatz. Fiola's dam is by Don Juan from the same D line that produced the International show jumper Dollar Girl amongst many other top jumpers and successful stallions such as Drosselklang I and II.

In 2000 Henk Bouwman for Zangersheides Z-Magazine published ten of the most promising showjumpers of all of the Hanoverian, Holsteiner, Trakehner, Oldenberg and Westfalian keurings for 1999, Raffaello is amoung those listed as one of his personal favourites.

In his 100 day test, Raffaello scored 9's for his temperament, willingness to work, ability to work, character and jumping, placing him 4th out of 37 stallions in the jumping component of his test. The judges at his 100 day test in Germany stated "He is very careful and has tremendous scope over fences. He is also a nice type and very good mover".

In 2005, his first season in competition Raffaello competed successfully and won his first jumping Championship cooler, as well he was in the ribbons at the Pacific Regional Dressage Championship show.

Raffaello further was selected by committee as one of the stallions for the Hanoverian Jumper Breeding Program in North America. He is fully approved for the Hanoverian Verband, American Hanoverian Society, American Warmblood Registry, ISR Oldenburg, Canadian Warmblood and Canadian Sporthorse. 2006 will see Raffaello presented to the Oldenburg Verband.

He is displaying extremely careful technique, scope and willingness to please. Whilst we are preparing him for competition at the top levels in show jumping he stood concurrently to a full book of mares breeding thoughout the showing season on demand. We look forward to his first foal crop in 2006.
