BOLERO H, HANOVERIAN, 1975 Color: ch Height: 16.2 DE 331/31/01112/75. Geb. 10.02.1975. Ldb. Died 1987 One of Bolero`s most well-known descendents is Debbie McDonald`s 2004 Olympic mount, Brentina, by Brentano II. Bolero, a classic foundation stallion in the Hanoverian Verband, is one of the few sires to produce a new foundation stallion, Brentano II, along with other top stallions, Bismarck and Brentano I. Also, three of Bolero`s descendants medaled at the 2004 Olympics in Athens--Beauvalais ridden by Spain`s Beatriz Ferrer-Salat, Bonaparte ridden by Germany`s Heike Kemmer and Brentina ridden by American Debbie McDonald. Bolero`s dramatic influence is made all the more remarkable by the fact that he died of a heart attack at the age of 12, when German breeders were just beginning to appreciate the potential he had as a sire. Bolero passed on his noble attitude and rhythmic gaits, producing outstanding, elegant dressage horses who have proven particularly successful when bred to Hanoverian G- and D-line mares. Bolero was by Black Sky, a Thoroughbred who produced very rideable dressage horses. Bolero`s success contradicted the popular belief of breeders at that time, which held that breeding a mare by a Thoroughbred with a Thoroughbred stallion would not produce successful offspring. But, in fact, Thoroughbred influences contributed to the breeding of dressage horses from that point onward and proved to be one of the main factors in producing more elegant, lighter dressage horses. Bolero`s dam was Baronesse, a Hanoverian mare out of the mare Atlastaube (by Athos and out of Fliegerheil) who produced the popular sires Grenadier, Hitchcock and Winner.
