This exceptionally charming young stallion from the successful Hanoverian dam line Antipathie immediately caught our eye. A correct and very solid stallion of sensible size, he radiated confident composure at every presentation.

We were particularly impressed by his powerful, well-engaging hind leg stepping actively under the body, his excellent freedom of shoulder, his uphill canter (all without exaggeration), and his very good walk. T-Roc demonstrated good balance both at liberty and on the lunge, and was able to lengthen and shorten his stride without losing rhythm.

A complete package like this is something one hopes to see not only at championships, but ultimately in the bigger Grand Prix arena. After reviewing his X-rays — including impeccable neck and back findings — he was firmly placed on our wish list.

His sire Total Diamond completed his performance test in Schlieckau with a score of 8.05 and has already produced six licensed sons, three of them premium stallions. The Antipathie dam line has produced countless successful and durable offspring at high levels in both dressage and show jumping.

We believe the strong, reliable blood of Ehrentusch on the dam’s side will complement our stallion station exceptionally well.
