Prestigious awards won by Romanno Stud

The stud is very pleased to have won the following 2 awards this year -

For the second year running Deanhills Royal Jubilee is the NPS Young Stallion of the Year 2009.

Romanno Ruinart by Rohdiamant out of St Pr De La Rosa won the BEF British Young Dressage Horse 4 yo 2009.

Rotherwood Flamenco 2nd HOYS Cuddy Supreme In Hand Championship.

The stud has been hit hard this year with the loss of 2 of our precious mares.

St Pr Riva, out fabulous foundation sports mare by Rubinstein had to be put to sleep following complications after a very difficult birth. We thankfully saved the foal and are hand rearing him. He is a very quality black colt by the former world champion French Kiss. We hope he will be a future stallion for our stud. Riva is missed terribly, she will never be forgotten and could never be replaced, we were fortunate to have known her.

Rosslyn Sweet Fun passed away very suddenly but peacefully in her sleep. She was 25 and had given the stud a fabulous filly this year which she raised with ease prior to her death. She was the most delightful of mares with a personality that she will always be remembered for. An outstanding brood mare, we are lucky to have 4 of her daughters at the stud.

Congratulations to Jo Dixon with her recent success with her 3 yo filly Romanno Dark Dream by Rubin Star N out of Donnali. She gained the prestigious STER predicat from the KWPN society at their recent grading.

Our congratulations continue for Clayton and Julie Down with their outstanding young stallion Romanno Ruinart by Rohdiamant out of St Pr De La Rosa. This impressive young stallion continues to show his talent and won the Shearwater International Dressage Horse of the Future a the recent BD national finals. He thereafter was the reserve supreme champion.
