Royalti ("Rico") is a simply stunning and very fancy dark bay Hanoverian colt with adorable markings born March 29, 2013 by the infamous Royal Prince, and out of the Elite Eligible mare Dramatic by Donatelli. This incredible colt has a gorgeous head and lovely expression, and a canter - well, movement in general - that comes along ever so rarely. He has amazing "sit", balance, rhythm and lightness to his gaits. He is extremely correct with an outstanding shoulder and powerful hind end, which will ensure his fullest capabilities as an athlete. Rico has the looks, the apparent talent, quality of breeding and noble character to be a delightful partner in any arena. He is happy, willing, tractable, eager to please and a joy to work with. His kind, liquid doe eyes speak volumes about his wonderful disposition.

Rico displays all the quality and attributes that we strive for in our program as we maintain our dedication and focus on providing fancy, sound, well tempered horses for competitors, trainers and pleasure riders alike. He promises to be a best friend as well as a fierce competitor in either the dressage or hunter ring, or even in eventing. Rico's superb mind will make for an excellent amateur or junior's mount.

Rico's sire, Royal Prince, needs no introduction, and his offspring are highly coveted and admired for their super amateur friendly temperaments and consistent quality. He has winning offspring competing in high levels of dressage as well as in the hunter ring. Rico represents a second generation of breeding for us, as his dam, the Elite Eligible mare Dramatic, by the illustrious Donatelli, is homebred by us and will do her Mare Performance Test this fall to obtain her Elite Status. Rico therefore is a fine representation of the sought-after and proven Donnerhall/Rubenstein cross. His dam has had three previous foals, all of which were outstanding in type, movement, jump and quality. "Maddie" also has an excellent free jump with great form and scope. She is shown in the last photo (Photo Credit: Kimmy Risser Photography).

Rico will be fully registered and branded with the American Hanoverian Society in July. He should mature to approx 16-16.1h.

Rico is priced conservatively for his quality, however, special preferences/negotiations are given to a loving, serious show home. We are happy to offer flexible payment terms and can tailor a plan that best meets your needs. Also, we can provide long term young horse boarding at a very affordable rate.
