Rubi's first filly by Salieri (Salieri Rose) was sold in-utero and was such a fabulous cross, that we bred Rubi back to him for a 2008 foal!  (Salieri Rose was the champion filly at her 2007 site inspection ... elegant, elastic, beautiful chestnut filly!)   Rubi is a very typey liver chestnut mare who stands 16.1˝.  She has an excellent pedigree with 5 generations of State Premium mares in a row on the dam line.  She has an overall 8 at her Inspection with a super score of 8.22 at her Performance which included 9's for walk and trot, an 8 for canter, an 8 & 9 for rideability and a 7 & 8 for Jumping ability.  She was Winner of her Class in 2000 and competed in the Famous Ratje-Niebuhr show in 2000 and placed 4th in her class.

Salieri is the sire of Anky van Grunsven's gelding Salinero, the 2004 Olympic Gold Medallist.  Salinero is ranked number 1 dressage horse in the world for 2005 by the World Breeding Federation for Sport Horses. This top position was primarily based on him winning the 2005 World Cup Finals and his victory at the 2005 European Dressage Championships.

Salieri was very successful in sport, competing internationally with Holger Wulschner.  In 2000 he won the Sires of the World class at the Hannover horse show.  In 2001 he won the Audi Cup in Leipzig and in 2002 he had a victory in Norten-Hardenberg which brought his winnings to €116,000.  You can read more about his fabulous Dam, St.Pr.St. Rosa Canina, by clicking here...

Weather problems and foaling (time constraints) didn't allow us to get many still photos of Sirius before he and Rubi left to go to the repro center.  There's a short video (on top of the page) that we took in the front yard before we loaded them for their long trip.  We hope to have them back in a month or so (turned out they were gone 60+ days!) and will get more photos done for the website then.  He's an incredible colt with royal bloodlines!

Sirius is shedding out and looking like he may be liver chestnut like his mom when he's done.  He's very elastic, proud and a beautiful mover, definitely an upper level prospect.
