Raybol, a 5/28/08, 16.1 hand stallion, is correct, elegant, and can really move!  He won 2nd under saddle at DAD and placed in all his classes.  Wonderful movement and type.  At Region 4 Championships, Sept. 9, he won all his classes and was 2011 USDF DSHB Champion 3 YO Colts & Geldings, and 2011 USDF DSHB Grand Champion.
 
Sire: Raymeister is a stallion test winner and has been USDF HOY several times including PSG and I-2.  He is approved ISR/Oldenburg and AHHA.  He is sire of approved stallion Rashka, who also won his 2007 stallion test with the highest score in all U.S. stallion testing, 164.86.
 
Dam:  Paradel is a '97, Oldenburg mare. She won the Midwest ISR/Oldenburg Filly Championship, is still the top scoring Parabol in hunter breeding AHSA Horse of the Year awards, and won second at DAD three times. Her sire, Parabol, an extraordinary Westfalian Grand Prix dressage stallion, was Champion of his 100-day test, scoring 140.32, one of the highest scores seen in Germany to that time. He left a Style Jumping career, where he was ridden by a young rider to top honors, and made an easy transition to dressage upon his importation to the US in 1990. His offspring have been highly successful in both dressage and the hunter ring. Paradel's dam, Elite J Adelian*** is dam of three approved stallions, Opus*, Altemus*, and Rubicon Z, and was herself, three times USDF Horse of the Year and a Dressage at Devon winner - three times with perfect 10 scores! She produced eight premium foals, many of which have gone on to be AHSA, IHJA, USCTA, USDF, and USEF Horse of the Year winners.
