Hello! Has anyone bred to him and have anything on the ground? Looking for insight into disposition and general reflections! Thank you. 
We considered using him (we like hot horses and would have used a mare with a super temperament and rideability), but were warned off by someone we trusted who had gone to look at many offspring in Germany and candidly told us that a good deal of them seemed pretty much batshit crazy. I do like his son Morricone (Millennium/Rubin Royal/DeNiro/Rubinstein I), though. He earned top marks for rideability and character (and his walk!) at his SPT (most other Millennium sons who have gone through testing have scored notably low for their walk). I would still use a mare with good temperament and rideability herself, I think.

Isn’t this the stallion that went mental with Kristina Sprehe riding him at last year’s stallion show? I remember their being a lot of discussion about how scary it was. If it’s the same horse, I would probably pass.
same horse, yes.
interesting read here:

"…I asked my pal the Trakehner expert about this new Trakehener superstar, and while he must go nameless since he has a wife and family to support, my informant is not only very well informed, but a genuine fan of the Trakehener breed.
He pointed out that the year Millennium was third at his licensing, was the year Paul Schockemöhle bought Totilas, and that it was a year in which black Trakehners with the name Gribaldi in their pedigree, were keenly sought after. …
Millenium is described as ‘not too calm, but by far not as awful as his sire, just a little cheeky, a young stallion, and he was by far the most beautiful of all the stallions at the licensing.’"
according to a newspaper report from 2011 he bred 320 mares in his first year.

suppose, numbers even grew 2015 after the first crop of all black and beautiful sons appeared at the licensings in autumn 2014.
the small trakehner verband licensed three o/o the first crop an named one champion and one premium:
Sir Sansibar (M. v. Cadeau-Lehndorff’s-Konvoi)
Octavian (M. v. Hohenstein I-Grossist-Alarm)
Ivanhoe (M. v. Hohenstein I-Giorgio Armani-Leonardo)
none of them completed his SPT up until today. sirS did begin the 70dt in 2015, was withdrawn in between (soundness?) and recieved a final estimated result.
at the federal trakehner championships 2015 he recieved a final score of 7,6 which did not qualify for the finals.
those sons turned 3 in 2015, supposed to pass the SPT either age 3 or (according to the SPT reform) early age 4 in feb2016.
i only watched the test in münster handorf feb2016, there was one millennium son who was withdrawn due to misbehaviour. if they had gelded him right away it would have been a healthy decisiosn.
morricone (Mv rubin royal x de niro) was winner of his 30dd last autumn in adelheidsdorf. he is the best bespoken son so far based on what poeple have seen at stallioon shows and how he was presented at the licensing.
I currently have my eye on Morricone. The walk does not get any better than his. Waiting to see more foals on the ground.
When I watch videos of Millenium offspring, the trot always catches my eye. I think he is a good improvement sire for the trot.
