Robert was badly injured in a pasture accident at the end of September, and was euthanized a few weeks later when it became apparent that he would not recover. He was one of our best stallion prospects, and the son of our foundation mare, Adelblume, who also passed away this year. 

Robert was by Rienzi out of Adelblume (Adlerblick-SPS Einglas) Chestnut, star. Quite a fancy, uphill mover! Sire Rienzi (Raphael/SPS Bolero) was the highest placed Hanoverian at his 100 day test in 1998 with a final score of 108.75. Dam Adelblume, was an overall "8" at her inspection and received a second place at Dressage at Devon in the Produce of Dam class. At 24 years old, she had been an excellent producer. All of her fillies have qualified for Elite Mare status, and her 2 yr. old filly won her class at the MAHB Hanoverian Mare Show in 1998. One of her colts was designated a stallion prospect by the German Hanoverian Verband inspector. Robert was an excellent mover with a sweet disposition.
