My Rudy Valentino AKA Rudy, this handsome M line Holsteiner gelding is a 15.3 fluorescent red chestnut. His sire Maurico had half siblings competing internationally into their 20’s. This lineage only gets better with age. The M line is notorious for their soundness, willingness and sense of humor. Rudy has been going nicely most of his life and then his owner had medical issues sidelining him more often than not. He is currently being ridden by a 13 year old who does not have enough time to commit to him, and Rudy is just too special to be everybody’s back up ride. Rudy has competed USEA 4x with good ribbons in three of the outings. Fabulous on the trail, and strangely enough has been introduced to cattle without a problem. His sire Maurico is an own son of Marlon, who was shown Grand Prix over fences, FEI dressage and at the age of 17 started combined driving. His dam is an own daughter of Mokhieba, who was at one point the USEA’s leading sire of graded event horses.
