Additional Comments

Rip'n Rio Z is a 17hh, registered Hanoverian Stallion. He is the son of Olympic qualified Show jumper, Rio Grande, former mount of Canadian Olympic Gold Medalist, Eric Lamaze. Rip'n Rio Z himself has competed successfully in Jumper Classes at the Gold Level to 1.25m in his younger years. He is a brave, talented jumper with three impressive gaits and a temperament second to none, can tie him in an arena and ride a horse right past him and he doesn't even blink, most people dont realize he is a stallion because he is so well mannered.... (read more) Rip'n Rio Z stamps his offspring with his talent, rideability, willingness to work, beautiful movement and conformation. Many of his offspring are competing successfully in all rings with previous owners. We have 5 mare due in 2021 from him. Check back to our website for potential prospects for sale. Please inquire if interested in breeding to Rio for 2021 breeding season to book your spots before they fill. Rio bred 9 mares last year and got 8 of them pregnant most on first heat cycle and the later due ones were because they didnt catch to the other stud they were bred to first. He got them in foal first breeding and some of our mares are older broodmares. We had 3 client mares bred they all caught first cycle.
