The sire of this filly, Rascalino, came first in his performance test out of 31 stallions in 2004 with the knockout score of 153.37. He scored 8 temperament, 8 conformation, 10 for trot, 9 canter, 9 walk, 9 rideability, 7.67 for free jumping, 8.33 for jumping manner under saddle, and a high 9.67 for rideability under saddle in this jumping phase. In fact, this respectable jumping score is probably a product of the of the Wedekind/Ferdinand and Wendekreis/Ferdinand in damsire, Velten Third’s background. A further performance component is added through paternal grandsire Rubinstein I, a line known for dressage excellence, but also with some talent at the jump. World Cup III as the sire of the second dam insures dressage excellence. Rascalino is a beautiful, elegant animal with the best gaits and exceptional freedom of the shoulders, sure to make his mark in modern dressage breeding, in the hoofprints of his famous sire and grandsire.
