Rhea when bred to Marlon (one of the early British Thoroughbred stallions introduced to refine the Holsteiner breed) produced Merlin (judged the best Holsteiner stallion in 1970) who was the sire of Merano. Rhea was also the great-granddam of South Pacific and great-great granddam of Carpaccio. Rhea and Anblick produced Venezia, who won the individual Bronze Medal in dressage (with Neckerman on board) and Team Silver in the 1972 Olympics.
