Rascalino

I don’t understand how someone goes and looks at a horse for sale, see’s that something just isn’t quite right physically, and then right away assumes that the sire of this horse is the cause (when there are literally thousands of potential reasons the horse could be sore). And THEN writes off that stallion as a sire. That is very strange to me!

I don’t think I can think of any stallion that comes to mind quicker than Rascalino or Rotspon when it comes to the ability to put good temperament on their offspring, I have heard this so many times from so many people over the years, so there must be some truth to it. I saw both stallions in Germany and here at Spruce and both were total hams, loving the attention that they got (both have mastered the art of charming visitors into giving face scratches through the bars lol ).

This. I don’t know of any Rascalino offspring personally (although I have always admired him), but I have known several Rotspon offspring and they have all had wonderful ammie friendly temperaments as well as being nice elastic movers.
