Oldenburg -

Fhantom returned from the breaker as one of the last of his birth year to be broke and he is doing super under saddle. He is very rideable and tolerant of the rider while offering what he thinks is the right thing to do- a real volunteer. His pedigree predicted this and we are pleased that the genetics shines through!

He is tall and has a really free shoulder with just enough knee to hint at passage and piaffe in the future, plus an active hindquarter required for a collection sit-down. Fhantom of the Opera-
16.2 h. 4 year old PREMIUM German
Oldenburg (GOV) gelding born 5/14/15 by
Franziskus
(Fidertanz/Alabaster/Rubinstein) out of
Elite Mare Rhussia (Rotspon/Armin/Eisenherz).
Fhantom of the Opera's sire, Franziskus was winner of the German
Foal Championships Qualification. He then became a premium
stallion at the 2010 Westphalian licensing in Münster-Handorf.
He was 2012 Federal Champion of four year old stallions and in
2013 he qualified for the National Championships of the five year
old dressage horses. 2014 brought victories in dressage Kl. M with
his rider Ingrid Klimke and he was a finalist of the World
Championship for Six Year Old Dressage Horses. In 2015, he won
his first Intermediaire I with a 72.184% in Munster as a 7 year old.
He is now quite famous winning at the Grand Prix level under his
rider Ingrid Klimke. Franziskus has excellent type with naturally
uphill conformation, and three excellent basic paces: a perfect
walk, a dynamic trot and a fantastic uphill canter. He is now winning international Grand Prix with Ingrid and is famous for his offspring.
Fhantom of the Opera's dam, Elite Mare Rhussia is a 4th
generation product from Rolling Stone Farm's breeding program.
She is dam to 2 licensed stallions, including RSF's own Dheputy
(by Dauphin) and a National Champion in the National Young
Horse Championships for Six Year Olds. Elite Mare Rhussia was
the top scoring mare at the 2004 RSF Hanoverian inspection, with
a score of 7.5. She received a 9 for her neck, 8's for head, frame,
foreleg, conformation, typiness and femininity and overall
impression and development.
As a green broke three year old, she passed the MPT with a score
of 7.27. She received all 7's and 8's for canter and jumping ability.
EM Rhussia is by Rotspon, a son of Rubinstein, who won his
stallion performance test in 1998 with an excellent overall score
of 145,67 (148,82 in the dressage category). Like his father, the
famous Rubinstein I, Rotspon is a very impressive horse with
great rideability, outstanding temperament, movements and a
high aptitude for dressage. He also showed good jumping
technique. Rhussia's damsire is Armin, a horse that competed
successfully at Grand Prix and then was used as a natioanl silver
medal winning Young Rider Horse.
Fhantom of the Opera has a
performance pedigree that will ensure his
performance success. He is a very good
mover, has correct conformation and he has
an engaging personality with an affinity for
people. He is uncomplicated under saddle
and shows a very good rideability with a
volunteer attitude.

Rolling Stone Farm

Warmblood breeder for 44 years. Owner of large Oldenburg (GOV) and Hanoverian breeding farm in eastern PA. Young, well started dressage horses and occasional hunter prospects always available. USDF Bronze, Silver, Gold, Sapphire, Ruby and Platinum Breeder of Distinction. I have produced 39 Elite Mares and Elite Mare Candidates, and 3 State Premium Mares for the Hanoverian Society, and 32 Special Premium mares and 17 Verbands Premium mares, 191 Premium Foals and 48 Foals of Distinction for the German Oldenburg Verband. I have produced 9 licensed stallions, including the fully licensed and approved stallion named Shakespeare RSF (winner of the 2009 70 day stallion test), a licensed stallion named Somer Hit, 3 licensed stallions in 2012 (one from the first foal crop of Shakespeare RSF- Shotgun, also Dheputy and a stallion in Germany), Fhitzgerald and Sir James (both imported from Germany and successfully completed the 70 day stallion test here in the US), another licensed stallion in 2014 named Shavane- the second licensed Shakespeare RSF son who is out of homebred EM Rheporter (Royal Prince/Weltmeyer). In 2015 another Shakespeare son was licensed- Shortstop, who was Grand Champion at a USDF breed show in 2015. I have bred four top 6 FEI Young Horse National Champions and multiple HOY winners in hand and in dressage, and four winners of the Young Hunters Under Saddle at Hunter Devon. We stand Shakespeare RSF (Sandro Hit/Arrian). I estimate I have bred about 450 foals to date, and I also sell young stock and up to 20-25 riding horses a year. Some of my horses are fourth and fifth generation from my own breeding program. I started out in hunters and jumpers and then rode dressage up to the PSG level, not competing much due to family and farm commitments. I finally received her USDF Bronze and Silver medals in 2018. My homebred Hanoverians and Oldenburgs have been top ten in national dressage rankings and have won many under saddle and in hand classes at many shows such as Dressage at Devon (Grand Champion 2011 and Reserve Grand Champion 2021), NEDA (Grand Champion 2021 and 2022) and the hunter show at Devon. I have produced numerous champions and reserve champions at many in hand shows and has been in the top 8 ranking for USDF Dressage Breeder of the Year since 2013, leading that category in 2020 and 2022. I was the 2016 and 2018 USDF Dressage Sport Horse Breeding Breeder of the Year and have been in the top 16 since 2013. I have been the USEF Dressage Breeder of the Year every year 2014-2023 and was 2nd in that category from 2011-2013 and in 2022. In 2021 I was also the USEF Dressage Breeding Breeder of the Year and was in the top 4 for the USEF Dressage Sport Horse Breeder of the Year 2013- 2022. My greatest pleasure has been breeding suitable horses for the amateur market in the disciplines of dressage or hunter with an emphasis on rideability and movement.
