Rubinstein

Rubinstein was born into a dressage Royal Family. His dam is Antine, one of the three daughters of the mating of the Thoroughbred stallion, Angelo and Dodona (the two male foals from this pairing were Olympic dressage stars, Amon and Ahlerich). Rubinstein is by Rosenkavalier - Rosenkavalier is by Romadour II, who is the sire of World and Olympic champion, Rembrandt, out of Antine's full-sister, Adone. From another full-sister, Annette came Romancier (also by Rosenkavalier) who stood at the Blue Hors Stud in Denmark. However it should be noted that Rubinstein's two full-brothers have disappeared without trace.
Rubinstein was acquired at an early age by Mrs Gudula Vorwerk-Happ of the famous Vorwerk stud in Oldenburg.She bought him for a mere DM 35.000 as a three-year old. Before this he had been rejected for the Westphalian approvals, the commission being of the opinion that he was "too small, not enough horse, with defects on the hind leg not suitable for approval". De Baey had faith in the black horse, did not have him castrated and shortly afterwards welcomed Mrs Vorwerk and the Oldenburg Officials to his studfarm. Rubinstein was headed for Oldenburg.
Rubinstein was third in his performance test at Adelheidsdorf remarkably finishing in a higher position (4th) in the jumping rankings than he did in the dressage (5th).
Rubinstein was ridden in his early tests by that gifted rider/trainer Martina Hannöver, winning ten of his eleven starts at S-level. In 1995, Rubinstein scored eleven first and second placings at Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special level, and he was seriously being talked about as a candidate for the mighty German team to go to Atlanta. Then Martina lost the ride and Rubinstein went to Heike Kemmer, and the magic was lost. Nicole Uphoff rode the horse for a season, but even she could not get Rubinstein motoring again - his weaknesses, the lack of power and scope, particularly in the trot, were glaringly apparent.
Still, by this stage, Rubinstein's most exciting son Rohdiamant, a foal from his first crop (out of Elektia V who is by the Anglo Arab stallion, Inschallah) was doing the performing for him. In 1993, Martina had ridden Rohdiamant into equal first place (with Wolkenstein II) in the 3 year old Championship at the Bundeschampionate.
