RHODIUM

FERRO pref x G. RAMIRO Z pref

Rhodium descends from a family rich in dressage blood, as well as jumping ability. His mother, grandmother and great-grandmother all had very high jumping marks on their mare tests. Rhodium is a very well developed and extremely harmonious stallion that stands in a perfect rectangle. He has a good forehand and chest and a strong top line. A wonderfully honest stallion, Rhodium is always ready to work. He has a ground covering trot and a strong gallop, and a lot of natural ability for dressage. At his performance test, the judges made the following comments: "Rhodium is a very well-modeled stallion that has a good forehand and a strong upper line. His legs have lots of quality. His pace as well as his trot has a natural wide space. Rhodium trots with lots of imprint and tact. When galloping we see the same good results as when trotting. The natural ability of Rhodium to become an excellent dressage horse is enormous." He received 7 for walk, 8 for trot and 9 for canter and was judged sufficient over fences. Rhodium's sire, Olympic Ferro, was the catalyst for the Netherland's team silver Olympic dressage win. Grandsire Le Mexico was know for his phenomenal ability over fences.

In 2003 Rhodium came in second in the 2003 world championships for young dressage horses with a score 7.92.

In 2005 Rhodium was the winner of the Z class dressage competition for KWPN Stallions

with a 7.5 for walk, 8 for trot, and 9.5 for canter!
