Rosie is by Romedio - (by Rigoletto who was by Ramzes - considered one of the most important performance sires in the world.) Romedio was Premier champion foal 1972, premier champion 1 1/2 year old 1973, high bonit 2 year old selection and award winner at 100 day test Germany. Imported to Australia by Brokeford Park, sire of USA Olympic listed dressage horse St. Tropez (Mountbatten) and Grand Prix horses Roanoke, Rubens and Romboli.

Romedio was imported to Australia in the early 70's. Romedio was a fully registered and approved Holsteiner stallion. He was one of the highest scoring performance tested stallions of his era and was given an A1 classification as an improvement stallion from the Holsteiner Pferd. He stood two seasons after his classification and produced good quality future sires and numerous grand prix show jumpers and dressage horses. It was at this point JK Stud imported Romedio into NZ and bred him exclusively to their own mares for two seasons. He passed away at the age of 30. Romedio sired JK Sacramento

Romedio carries the famous R Line from his sire Rigoletto and grand sire Ramzes. Rigoletto himself was a grand prix show jumper, as was Romedio's dam Waldenerin. Romedio produced some of Australia's best performance horses and his bloodlines are still going strong through his progeny in Australia today. He was exported to New Zealand for two seasons and unfortunately passed away at the grand old age of thirty.

Romedio himself was trained to grand prix level dressage. One of his best sons Mountbatten was imported to the U.S.A. and had competed at Grand Prix Dressage for many years. His name was changed to St. Tropez and was California Prix St. George Horse of the Year. He is now deceased.

Romedo also sired Rembrandt - bred in Australia and imported to the U.S.A. He carried 75% Holsteiner and 25% Thoroughbred bloodlines. Rembrandt's career started in the early 1980's; he competed both Grand Prix Jumping and F.E.I. Dressage.

He successfully competed at such places as the Grand Prix of Sale, placing first, the Border Town Grand Prix, 4th Place, The Austrialian Capital City Grand Prix and many other competitions around the country (including many A & B grade competitions.)

Due to the consistent demands on the horse as a sire, he had then proven his versatility and was trained at F.E.I. Level Dressage at which he competed at Prix St. Georg Level for a brief period. He was successful at competitions such as the Victorian Dressage Championships; he won the Pope Cupe in the advanced level competition at the Melbourne Royal Show ans was placed in many competitions at both levels.

Due to the demanding stress put on him at being successful at both levels and a demanding contract with the Victorian Mounted Police as their number one sire of Mounted Police Horses, Rembrandt made only selected competitions. After it was felt he was a good horse with the ability to be trained in such high levels for both.
