Rooney (Rooney 4)

rimondo Insights

Rooney, the Westphalian stallion from the 2002 cohort, is particularly impressive due to his breeding achievements. Although he does not have any sporting successes to his name, his genetic influence is evident in his offspring. With over 10 progeny, he has already made his mark in horse breeding. Notably, his approved son Rosenstolz 110 has drawn attention with over 30 placements in competitions.

Rooney descends from an impressive lineage. His sire, the Oldenburg stallion Rubin Royal OLD, has significantly impacted horse breeding with over 900 offspring. Rooney's dam, the Rhineland mare Winetta, carries the genes of the renowned Hanoverian stallion Weltmeyer, a legend in the breeding world with over 2500 progeny.

Rooney is a prime example of the importance of breeding in the equestrian world, as he shines through his offspring despite lacking personal sporting achievements.
