2007 Dark Bay Sabino ISR Gelding (born March 20)
SIRE: ROYAL APPEARANCE is one of Virginia Tech's current breeding stallions. At his ISR/Oldenburg NA licensing, Royal Appearance received a score of 153.5 points (at that time, second only to his sire!) with a 9 for jumping. At his performance test, he was named a Class I stallion, earning a dressage index of 120.29 and a jumping index of 118.44 and finishing fourth overall. As a 6-year-old, he was the Reserve Champion Young Horse Jumper for the East Coast, under the guidance of Margie Goldstein-Engle. From his first crop of just two foals, he sired Royal Raconteur, ISR/Oldenburg NA East Coast Reserve Champion Colt and now competing at the Intermediate level in eventing as a 7-year-old in 2007, finishing 5th in the Jersey Fresh CCI**. He has also sired Premium foals Rivendell (8.5), BW-Royal Princess (8.4), BW-Regal Reception (8.3), etc. Daughter BW-Royal Princess was named Champion Oldenburg and Best US-Bred Filly at Fair Hill and is now a Materiale winner under saddle as a three-year-old. Daughter Royal Robin was named the USDF #2 Oldenburg NA Yearling Filly in 2003.
DAM: DARJEELING, also known as "Teacup", was a successful dressage competitor at Grand Prix before retiring to the Virginia Tech broodmare band. She is an affectionate mare who has become a favorite around the farm. Roadster VT is her first foal.
Roadster VT is a gorgeous colt with a ton of personality. He is very fancy and destined to be a showstopper (even if he does grey out!). We could not be happier with the first foal for us by our newest stallion, Royal Appearance.
Roadster was presented to ISR/Oldenburg NA in September 2007 and was named a Premium Foal with scores of 8.3 for conformation and type, 8.2 for movement and 8.2 for overall impression, for a total score of 8.2. He was named 3rd High Score Colt from the 10 colts presented on the day. We are delighted to offer this exceptional youngster in the 2007 Hokie Harvest Sale!
