Raimond was a beautiful, muscular 16H stallion. He produced uniform and typy offspring. He produced many good broodmares with ideal temperaments. He crossed best with refined mares.

RAMZES

RANTZAU

Rappel  In 1960, the mare, Rappel was saved from the knackery by Rheder Thormählen, a breeder from a family which had lived on the Kollmaran marsh for 500 years, where they had been involved in the breeding, riding and selling of horses throughout that time. Rappel who was by Heinzelmann, had made herself unpopular by jumping out of paddocks, and was still jumping at the age of 23 when she won an elementary showjumping class! Herr Thormählen did not know it at the time but Rappel had an earlier foal, by the influential Arabian bred, Ramzes, who as Romanus had won the Grand Prix of Rome with Hans Günter Winkler.
Ten years later, Rappel presented Thormählen with another Ramzes foal, this time a filly, Vase - who went on to be champion mare of Holstein. Vase’s full-brother, Roman topped the German showjumping standings for two years running with Hans-Gunter Winkler. Vase’s daughter, Folia, by Maximus (himself an Advanced showjumper), foaled five stallions: Latus I and II (both by Landgraf), and then Capitol - who was by Capitano out of Retina (also by Ramzes) who had won the Hamburg Derby with Fritz Thiedemann in the saddle.

Raphael,  now deceased ,  is moreover, one of the most significant hereditary transmitters of recent times and was declared the most successful procreator of sports horses in Germany in 1999.,  He produced 11 FEI level dressage horses including Ravallo who is a role model for work ethic and personality and Raggazzo (Grand Prix dressage stallions in Europe) and Rio Grande, Raphanus and Radiator (Grand Prix jumping stallions) and was the sire of our own multi talented Hanoverian stallion, Raffaello. Raphael has even has offspring who is successfully competing at international level in carriage driving. The number of offspring he comes up with in the show ring is high and earned him great indices for producing show horses according to 2000 FN yearbook: 112 in dressage and 123 in jumping.
In the Hanoverian Verband stallion yearbook 2001 he is one of few stallions who have significantly above average scores for all criteria regarded (breeding type: 113, conformation of limbs 125, dressage 118 and jumping 124). In 1999 an article in 'Reiter und Pferde in Westfalen' honored him as the top sire in the German stallions league leaving behind him names such as Landadel, Pilot, Capitol and others).
People might also take into consideration he was still healthy until his demise in his mid twenties.

Ravallo typifies the diversity of Raphael offspring as a reknown dressage performer and sire in Europe. He is related to our stallion Raffaello through their common sire,  the great Raphael.

Retina, Holsteiner dam of Capitano. International  successful Retina, who was ridden by Fritz Tiedemann, who's wins include the German Derby in Hamburg. Up until now only two horses have ever won both the two qualification rounds and the Derby: Firstly Retina at seven years old, ridden by Fritz Tiedemann in 1959 and her great grandson Capriol from Capitol - Capitano - out of Retina, ridden by Holger Wulschner in 2000. She is by the legendary Ramzes. Through Carthago Z's blood, Retina is a relative of Cotopaxi's and thus Cantamos.

Rio Grande competed at Olympic level showjumping and is a noted sire of Hunter ring performers. Raffaello  embarks to carry on this legacy of being a potent producer of performance offspring sharing with Rio Grande the common sire of  Raphael.

Roemer

 Ronald (1970 - )was a very good son of Ramiro with expression, presence and a smooth topline. Nicely shaped shoulder and croup. Heavy bone, correct legs and feet. Overstride in walk, very good trot, and good canter. Good under saddle, with considerable jumping ability with very good form. Ronald produced big framed horses with scope and rather flashy markings. He improved on the legs and feet of mares. His foals were born with light coats which darkened later. Masculine offspring are coarser while mares were more refined.
Ronald produced 5 approved sons and 88 approved daughters

Roman (1963-1986) Stamm 18B1 Roman  was a very important sire to the Holsteiner breed. He was a successful open jumper sired those such as the famous Rigoletto. He crossed best with big framed, refined mares.Roman, himself won many advanced show jumping competitions, largely made a name for himself as the dam-sire of many significant sires (e.g. Carolus I and II, Tin Rocco, Larome, Calvin, Cantus. Cordeui etc.), as well as many prominent show jumping horses. Since Calido I's sire Cantus is out of a mare by Roman and his grandam is by Roman too, there is a highly interesting inbreeding component in regard to this top sire.  He produced 6 approved sons and 122 approved daughters.

ROMAN

Romanus The Breeding Line 173 is one of the most successful blood lines of the Holsteiner yard. The original mare Rappel (from Heinzelmann) had an enormous jump, and could not be kept on any fields. Her son Romanus (from Ramzes X out of Vase) was very successful on the international circuit ridden by Hans Günther Winkler.
