ROYAL RHAPSODY

(Rubin Royal / Parabol)

​

2005 ISR/Oldenburg Mare

​

Royal Rhapsody is a 16.2 hands, ISR/Oldenburg mare, of international quality like her GP winning sire and grandsire, and her Olympic great-grandsires.  Royal Rhapsody was awarded premium status at her ISR/Oldenburg inspection and won the Premium Filly Championship.  Consistently winning at rated dressage shows, she could also qualify quickly as a hunter.

Royal Rhapsody is quiet to handle and can be ridden by anyone. She's been ridden by a beginner rider, both in the arena and outside. A powerful mover but easy to sit in all gaits, she has a huge 9 walk but is still very suitable and safe for an amateur rider. She has started some lovely lateral work, has strong balance in counter canter, and has a confirmed flying change. She has won six out of her eight classes (2nd and 3rd in the other two) and has a median score of over 68%.

Clean, full set of 2019 x-rays.

The high rideability component of these horses comes from the third generation father, Akzent II. Rubin Royal's offspring are exceptionally elegant with fascinating movement and character.  He has five approved sons in various breeding areas such as Oldenburg, Hannover, and Westfalen.

Dam: Paradel is a premium Oldenburg mare by Parabol. Paradel won the Midwest ISR/Oldenburg Filly Championship, is still the top scoring Parabol in hunter breeding AHSA Horse of the Year awards, placed second numerous times at DAD with perfect 10 scores, and was twice USDF HOY. Paradel has produced several of the highest-scoring approved stallions in the US and eight premium foals many of which have gone on to be AHSA, IHJA, USCTA, USDF, and USEF Horse of the Year winners.

Rubinstein's full brother Amon also took part in the Olympic Games three times. Johann Hinnemann, the former federal trainer of the German dressage elite, once said, "When we consider a stallion of the century, we refer to Rubinstein.
