2025 Rhinelander/Half Arabian Foal (In Utero)

Monterey (Morricone/Sir Donnerhall I) x Tahriki Malika ox (Tahriki Rakkad/Holima)

​Sire: Monterey was one of the most striking stallions of the 2018 Oldenburg stallion licensing in Vechta. In addition to his impression in the arena, he was revered with regard to his bloodlines and he was named premium stallion and received cheers from the crowd. Monterey is very rideable and has a lot of charm and confidence. He is immaculate in his foundation and demonstrates amazing gaits, especially in walk and trot.

His sire Morricone, was the Oldenburg Champion Stallion in 2014 and secured victory in the competition for the Oldenburg Main Premium in 2016. He won his stallion performance test and qualified for the German Championships with victories in competitions for young dressage horses. Many of his foals have been sold for high prices. In his first crop of colts up for licensing, six stallions were approved, including one premium stallion in Hanover.

His dam Special Diva, was German Champion in 2014 and subsequently won many dressage competitions at novice (A) and elementary (L) level.

The dam sire Sir Donnerhall I has already earned the status of "trademark stallion". He was second Reserve champion of his licensing, Regional Champion, record winner of his stallion performance test, Vice-World Champion of young dressage horses, German Champion and winner of the main premium. He has almost 100 licensed sons.

His grand-dam Minelli produced the licensed stallion Brilliant (by Bretton Woods) and Fürst Diamond (by Fürst Romancier), internationally successful up to Inter I.

Diamond Hit, who appears in the third generation, was Vice-World Champion and Vice-German Champion in 2002, after winning silver at the Regional and National Championships of four-year-old stallions the year before. In 2005, he was the awarded the title of VTV Dressage Stallion of the Year. With Emma Hindle, he was very successful at international Grand-Prix level.

From the widely ramified Hanoverian line of Helferin descend the Champion Stallion Romulus I and the Reserve Champion Romulus II, as well as, the licensed stallions Chianti, Remus I and II and numerous other successful sport horses, such as the Grand-Prix dressage horses Sole Mio/Fabienne Müller-Lütkemeier and D'Artagnan and the advanced (S) level show jumpers You belong to me and Falk B.

Dam: Tahriki Malika, known on our farm as "Mali" (pronounced Molly) is the end result of our search for the right “type” of Arabian mare to incorporate into our small dressage breeding program, with the goal of breeding quality half Arabian horses for both the open USDF and Arabian sport horse competitor. We love Arabians and believe they have a lot to offer in the dressage world!

Mali comes from the perfect combination of older Russian, Crabbet, and Egyptian lines not seen much in the modern Arabian show world. She is the type of Arabian that is "built to last" with excellent movement that boasts suspension in the trot, a smooth canter, and a lovely walk, coupled with a gorgeous face, excellent legs, and those fantastic large, Arabian feet, all bundled together with an amazingly sweet and quiet disposition. In 2019 she was presented to Weser-Ems (the small horse and pony division of the Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society) and was accepted into the main mare book with excellent remarks on movement and type. In September of 2021, Mali was presented to the American Rhineland Studbook, and was added to the Main Mare Book. This means that all of her foals are eligible for double registration with the Arabian Horse Association and the American Rhineland Studbook or Weser-Ems.

Mali has produced two exceptional foals for our farm, Relevance NLS, by Ridley (Rotspon/Walt Disney), a stunning black colt who found his home with a pro dressage rider in Syracuse, New York immediately after weaning, and Bon Ami NLS, a lovely bay colt by one of Europe's most popular dressage stallions, Bon Coeur (Benetton Dream/Sandro Hit).

***FUN FACT!! For those who may have been fans of Walter Farley and his wonderful book series, The Black Stallion, Mali is a direct descendant of the stallion El Mokhtar, one of the stallions who portrayed "the Black" in the move The Black Stallion Returns!!***
