Model #703235 - 'Rembrandt'
Germany's Nicole Uphoff was catapulted to international dressage stardom at the tender age of 21 by just such an equine superstar: Rembrandt Borbet, a horse she had purchased as a three-year-old. Winner of consecutive individual Olympic gold medals in 1988 and 1992, the young woman and the refined looking, often explosive bay Westphalian gelding by Romadour II captured dressage enthusiasts' collective imagination with their expressive, breathtaking performances. But after Rembrandt's retirement in 1996, after an unsuccessful bid for a third Olympic gold medal, Uphoff found herself without a top horse to ride and beset with personal troubles as well. Size: Classic Year: Unknown
