Talk to me of Rubinstein (Lorenz/Allasch)

[Dressage_Diva333]

I'm looking at a horse by this stallion. Yes, I know, not the great Rubinstein...

However, I can't find any information on this Rubinstein? I've heard that he was a Dutch stallion that was imported into the US. Whenever I do a google search, all I come up with is great son of Rosenkavalier, Rubinstein.

Would love any info :)

Here's his pedigree:

I think he stood in my area (the Pacific NW) for a time, so you might try Googling "Rubinstein, WB Stallion Washington" or something.

I think he's deceased.

Can't tell you much about him though otherwise...I don't believe you could have called him a top stallion, but I would just judge the foal (get) on it's own merits. If you are buying for breeding, I would think you could do much better in terms of a marketable pedigree.

Just MHO.

He was owned and shown by Jeffrey Moore (CA). I think he was registered Dutch.

Jeff Moore (if you google, use J. Ashton Moore) rode and handled this stallion. The stallion also went by the name of Lepanto (but so does a Spanish stallion, so you'll have to be careful to sift out what info you find).

I never saw this stallion in person, but did see a couple of his offspring about 12 years ago (we bought one of the dams after they were weaned). They seemed nice in type, good movement, sweet and easy to handle. Never saw any under saddle.

Lepanto/Rubenstein was a Holsteiner stallion. He was approved by the KWPN and renamed to adhere to their naming criteria. He stood under both names and was approved by the Dutch and in NA by the AHHA. I do not remember if he was approved in Germany before going to Holland, He stood in CA and produced a number of decent quality dressage horses. He was a contemporary of Taxateur - and although neither of them reached the rock star status of the other Rubenstein - they were good stallions, that put some nice foals on the ground. At the peak of their careers they were considered to be quality horses.

I would call them old blood - and would not hesitate to buy one if the quality of the individual horse was good.
