SIRE: RIENZI is an elegant young Hanoverian stallion with recent successes in his 100-day test and show competitions. He passed the 1998 Federation 100-Day Performance Test with above average scores in rideability, jumping under saddle, free jumping, walk and canter as well as outstanding grades for character, temperament, ability to work, willingness to work and general jumping aptitude. Rienzi's sire Raphael's breeding index in dressage is 123 and in jumping is 132. Dam SPS Bounty is also the dam of Regan, the high-scoring Hanoverian mare of the 1998 AHS/VhW Inspection Tour. The service to Rienzi was donated by Marefield Meadows, Warrenton, Virginia.

DAM: NEW BEGINNINGS "BENI" is a powerfully built warmblood mare sired by the Hanoverian Nebelwerfer, who also sired Grand Prix dressage stallion and Champion Hunter Nebelhorn. Beni's foals include: VT Jester, VT Klondike, VT Lysistrata, VT Manhattan, Nicodemus VT, Accolade VT "Ovation", Cicero VT "Poet", Crown Royal VT and Benedict VT. Her foals are known for their outstanding temperaments and many have gone on to become successful dressage and hunter horses for their junior or adult amateur owners.

VT LYSISTRATA was sold in the 2001 Hokie Harvest Sale and has become a very successful hunter and equitation horse under the show name "Ellusive". In 2006, she was shown by her owner Brittany Pomeroy to the VHSA Associate Adult Equitation Championship and finished fourth in the Adult Amateur Hunter standings. She also earned several Championships with ECHSA, TCHSA and the Topline Show Series. She has continued her winning ways in 2007 and is again among the state point leaders in equitation and adult amateur owner hunter divisions.
