Others stay a while, make hoofprints on our hearts
and we are never, never the same."

| We Remember Rubiano...
(Rotspon/Davignon/Matcho x/Garibaldi II)
At his VhW licensing in Verden, Germany in 2004, Rubiano impressed spectators and judges alike with his outstanding character combined with his dynamic and well balanced movement.
Rubiano was a very elegant stallion with correct conformation and three very good gaits. He exhibited much swing and elasticity at the trot, a very well balanced, overeaching walk and powerful, uphill canter.
At his 30-Day testing at Prussendorf, Germany, Rubiano placed third overall and was the highest scoring three year old at this site. Rubiano excelled under saddle, demonstrating tremendous rideability and work ethic. Equally impressive, he displayed above average jumping ability as well as excellent form over fences, placing fourth in jumping at his 30-Day testing.
As listed in the June 2005 Der Hannoveraner Magazine, Rubiano was the highest scoring Hanoverian three year old at any test site throughout Germany with an impressive final score of 8.33.
