Her sire, Rio Grande, has been called the “Performance Sire Extraordinaire” for his consistency in producing talented, correct and trainable horses for both jumper and hunter disciplines. Rio Grande was a winner. He won his stallion performance test, competed successfully as a dressage horse (Basic Dressage Champions as a four year old), win in the Hunter Ring before he showed successfully as an International Grand Prix jumper. He qualified for the 1996 Canadian Olympics team. He consistently produces big, beautiful, athletic and intelligent horses with great jumping technique, lovely movement and calm demeanor. Rio Grande was inducted into the Jump Canada Hall of Fame in November 2015 as both a jumper and sire of hunters and jumpers.
The dam's sire is the licensed and imported Hanoverian stallion Mattgold. He successfully completed his 100 day stallion performance testing at Adelheidsdorf Germany and has sired both advanced level dressage horses and advanced level jumpers in NA.
Romanee comes from a solid reconised thoroughbred damline, the line tb-9-b. She comes from Bold Ruler and Bull Lea lines. Bold Ruler sired some 240 stakes winners and is famous for being the sire of the great Secretariat. Bull Lea was imported to KY in the US and is one of the great influences in the American Thoroughbred. He was on the best sire and brood mare sire list for many years.
She also has the influence of Eight Thirty. Eight Thirty is listed as one of the great sites of the world. He sired 44 Stakes winners.
