Dressage stallion Real Diamond - info please

[vanessarimmer]

I am trying to find out more about the stallion Real Diamond by Rhodiamont. He has jumped to the top of the German breed rankings in recent years but I can't find out which stud in Germany that he stands at. Any info appreciated. I am thinking of using him on my Diamond Hit mare.

Hi,

He is (or at least was until recently) in Warendorf at the State Stud

An informative page here: http://www.muensterland-pferde.de/realdiamondengl.htm

The quality of this video isn't the best and there is a better one out there - but it says a lot about the trust between horse and rider that the rider can stand up in the saddle (i.e. on his feet not in the stirrups) at a big exhibition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czt4x4C7cjg

Thanks everyone for your help but I can't find him on the website for the state stud in Warendorf unless I'm being a complete idiot?

He's a lovely stallion I have no idea where he is now, he seemed to drop off the radar a couple of years ago. He has a son standing in Aus or NZ (can't remember which). From what I remember Real Diamond's semen did not freeze so this may have restricted his use.

He was there previously but I'm sure he isn't on their roster anymore and I've never been able to find him during the past year.

If no-one knows here - some of the German posters on the chronicle of the horse forum will probably know where he is standing. I also heard he does not freeze well, but I really do like him from the odds and ends I have seen and heard

Thanks everyone for your help. I have a german speaking friend so I may ask her to see if she can find out where his is now.

Thanks for the info Fanniemae. I see from your web site that you have a beautiful colt by Real Diamond. Do you know who has bought the stallion and if he will be available for breeding?
