Have to add that friend said that: foal (well, now yearling!) has "wonderful temperament, absolutely fantastic and so mature"; and they have used Grafenstolz again on the same mare this year (2009).
Thankyou, FB, and thankyou to her owners: she has a lovely outlook. I really like her neck and shoulder.
In Britain we are used to thinking of Grafenstolz as an eventing sire, and the few of his foals of which I have seen photos seem (just IMO) to have less substance than we are used to, unless out of big strong mares- though again, I have no idea whether they fill out and gain substance as they grow up- but I had not thought of G in terms of producing dressage foals.
