Radetzky

Körung: 1953, Münster Founder of the legendary "R-Line" that went on to be synonymous with world-class dressage. Today, the R-line influences some of the best dressage horses in Oldenburg and Hannover, as well as many smaller German registries. In the U.S., the Hannoverian and Westfalian breeds also depend on this influence. Radetzky's most important line is through Remus I -> Romulus I -> Romadour II -> Rosenkavalier -> Rubinstein. An entire chapter about Rubinstein can be found in our Oldenburg section. To get an idea of the general athleticism of the "R-Line", consider the Radetzky son Roman, World Champion Show Jumper in 1978 and the immortal Rembrandt who along with partner Nicole Uphoff, won individual and team gold medals at the 1988 Seoul and 1992 Barcelona Olympic games. And the Radetzky grandson Sioux was a leading event horse in Europe during the 70s.
