Proven Performance
Previously owned and ridden by German Olympic Gold medalist, Reiner Klimke, the talented stallion successfully competed in the international ring as a Grand Prix level jumper, advanced level dressage horse and a Puissance jumper (6’10+”). In 1994, he completed the 100 day stallion test in Munster-Handorf, Germany. At Rex’s approvals in Westfalen and Zangersheide he was selected among the five best stallions for his “endless capability” and extraordinary elastic movement. Rex’s ability is a reflection of his fine lineage. His pedigree represents the finest names in sporthorse breeding and continues to be one of the most sought after lines in all of Europe.
