Raleigh WHF is a 2020 black Westphalian stallion whose pedigree combines elite European sport horse genetics with generations of proven performance and exceptional temperament. He is sired by Rubinero, one of the leading hunter sires in the United States and a son of the legendary Rubinstein I. Rubinero's dam, Ex Libris, was out of a daughter of the influential Furioso II, bringing together two of the most important and respected sport horse bloodlines in modern warmblood breeding.

His dam, Royale Pal, is by Loyal Pal, the imported Irish Thoroughbred by the immortal Caro, owned by Olympic event rider Denny Emerson. Raleigh's maternal line descends from the elite hunter mare Racinia Royale, by Renoir I, a family noted for producing athleticism, elegance, jumping ability, and outstanding rideability.

Bred for sport and partnership, “Rudi” possesses the qualities that have made the Westphalian one of the world's most admired warmblood breeds. He combines expressive movement, balanced conformation, and natural athletic ability with a gentle, intelligent, and willing disposition. Thoughtful, kind, and eager to connect with people, he exemplifies the temperament we strive to preserve and promote in our breeding program.

For us, Raleigh WHF is the embodiment of the Westphalian horse: athletic without excess, powerful without losing elegance, and gifted with the sound mind and generous character that create true partners both in the show ring and at home. He represents generations of carefully selected bloodlines dedicated to producing horses capable of excelling in sport while remaining dependable, trainable, and deeply rewarding companions.

Sidereal WHF “Rea”

Rea is an elegant sport horse mare by the Oldenburg stallion Serano Gold, a son of the world-renowned Sandro Hit, out of a daughter of Grundstein II from one of Germany's most celebrated mare families. Her pedigree combines the proven dressage excellence, refinement, and rideability for which these bloodlines are internationally respected.

Her dam was a Thoroughbred mare affectionately known as "Mighty Mouse" for her fearless, game attitude and willingness to tackle anything asked of her. That determination and heart complement the elegance and quality inherited from Rea's warmblood ancestry.

Though small in stature, Rea possesses the unmistakable refinement, beauty, and athletic presence that made Sandro Hit famous. She is a mare of exceptional elegance, with expressive movement, a feminine silhouette, and the kind of charisma that consistently distinguished Sandro Hit offspring on the international sport horse stage. Rea is registered Oldenburg NA and approved with the Westfalen US registry.

Royale Pal “Cher”

Born in 1998 and now enjoying a well-earned retirement, Royale Pal has been the cornerstone of our breeding program, producing beautiful, athletic offspring that have gone on to excel in dressage and the hunter ring with their owners. Her foals consistently inherit her intelligence, athleticism, and willing temperament, making them exceptional partners both in competition and in everyday riding.

Royale Pal is by the imported Irish Thoroughbred Loyal Pal and out of Racinia Royale, a top show hunter in both the United States and Canada. Racinia Royale was sired by Renoir I, an accomplished international competitor in both jumping and dressage, known for passing on athletic ability, elegance, and versatility.

Her distinguished maternal line traces to Frühlingsrausch (1971), the influential Westphalian stallion by Frühling out of Sonett, whose pedigree carries the valuable Thoroughbred influence of Sinus xx. Recognized as an outstanding broodmare sire, Frühlingsrausch helped establish a mare family known for producing talented sport horses with excellent rideability, soundness, and character. Through this exceptional heritage, Royale Pal represents generations of proven performance bloodlines and remains one of the most important mares in the history of our program.
