Riesling CCF

2009 Oldenburg Gelding
Bay, 15 hands

Riesling is a full-brother to the successful colt R London Calling.  R London Calling, a 2008 colt, was the Reserve Grand Champion of the Fair Hill Breed Show I in 2009 and was 2nd in the ISR/Oldenburg class at Dressage at Devon later that fall.

Like his siblings, Riesling is proving easy to work with for grooming, mane pulling, farrier work, etc.  He has settled in quickly with his pasture mates and his sweet nature is consistently evident.  Riesling shows his sire's pure and swinging walk, has a sweeping trot, and a balanced effortless canter.

Riesling’s sire Royal Prince (Rohdiamant-Prince Thatch xx) is still the highest placing American owned horse at the World Championships for Young Horses with his fourth place finish as a five-year old.  His exceptional basic paces and high rideability are consistently transmitted to his offspring.  Royal Prince was the 2009 Reserve Champion for Fourth Level at both the BLM Finals and the USDF/GAIG Region 1 Championships.  He has also been the USEF Leading Sire for Dressage Breeding in both 2008 & 2009.

Riesling’s dam Akino is continuing her own dressage training while producing a number of offspring through embryo transfer. She is by Enrico Caruso (Mahagoni) sired 11 Approved stallions, including Kostolany.  He was the Reserve Champion of his Stallion Performance Testing and became a successful show horse, competing at S level in all disciplines.  Granddam sire Schonfeld is one of the all-time leading sires of Hunters in the US.  This pedigree offers versatility, trainability, and beautiful type.
