Young stallion of the highest quality
Rob Roy and Steffen Frahm have been tremendously successful in tests for young dressage horses, also winning the Mecklenburg Championships. The first crop by this premium stallion from the Hanoverian licensing, from which various youngsters were selected for auctions, was also highly convincing. In 2007 Rob Roy took his stallion performance test in Prussendorf where he finished as the best three-year old with a total index of 116.23 and sixth place overall. The scores he received for both rideability (118.40/4th place) and jumping ability (112.00/7th place) were equally high.

His sire Rubin-Royal was the winner of the Main Premium in Oldenburg. He took eighth place in the Nürnberg Burg Pokal and then placed in Grand Prix dressage classes. In 2007 he was awarded the VTV Dressage Stallion of the Year title. More than 20 of his sons have been licensed, including the Reserve Champion Rubin Cortes who wins Inter I dressage classes.
His dam St.Pr.St. Glory Dream did an excellent job at her broodmare performance test and placed in tests for young riding horses before she gave birth to St.Pr.St. Red Charmer (by Rubin-Royal) and a top jumper named Starlight (by Sao Paulo). The dam's sire Glorieux was the 1988 Riding Horse Bundeschampion and he continued on to medium (M/A) dressage classes. The granddam St.Pr.St. Sally also gave birth to Picado (by Pablo) who wins advanced (S) level dressage. Sally is a half-sister of the licensed stallion Grundsteins Erbe (= Eurocommerce Rome, by Glorieux)/Gerco Schröder/NED) who is so successful in international show jumping as well as the licensed stallions Glorioso Noir (by Glorieux; private stallion in the US) and Fortunatus (by Futuro).
This Hanoverian dam line of Grafenalp is the origin of many licensed stallions such as the international show jumper Griseldi L/Ulrich Kirchhoff or Fortunatus, Feingau, London, Landkönig and Lascaro K.
