Press release from: WHISPERINGDREAM.COM<br />
Ocala April 28, 2009. One week after famous US <strong>Dressage</strong> Horse Brentina under Debbie McDonald <strong>has</strong> <strong>been</strong> retired in an<br />
emotional ceremony during ROLEX World Cup Finals 2009 in Las Vegas, Brentina’s half-brother, the 3 year-old Hanoverian<br />
<strong>Brentano</strong> <strong>Ultimo</strong> <strong>has</strong> <strong>been</strong> carefully <strong>started</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Dressage</strong> at Whispering Dream Farm in Florida.<br />
While still under the emotions of the touching tribute event at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas, Alice<br />
Stuebling-Salm, owner of <strong>Brentano</strong> <strong>Ultimo</strong> said that it might be time to start this young horse with the prominent heritage<br />
getting him to see the arena.<br />
<strong>Brentano</strong> <strong>Ultimo</strong> sired by famous <strong>Brentano</strong> II and out of dam sire Weltmeyer cannot deny his family relation to the most<br />
celebrated <strong>Dressage</strong> horse in US history. The 16.2 chestnut gelding just differs by one less white sock than his legendary<br />
half-sister but otherwise is the perfect match by his exterior.<br />
<strong>Brentano</strong> <strong>Ultimo</strong> was born in 2006 at a small farm near Ankum, Germany when Alice Stuebling-Salm had traveled to<br />
Germany acquiring a two-year old Rotspon offspring. Seeing the <strong>Brentano</strong> offspring she immediately fell in love with the<br />
4-months old Hanoverian colt and bought him right on the spot. She kept him <strong>for</strong> a few more weeks with her mother and a<br />
sister foaled a year earlier be<strong>for</strong>e she moved him to close by Rudi Rehkamp’s stable in Bersenbrueck, Germany. He already<br />
had successfully <strong>started</strong> the Rotspon offspring <strong>for</strong> Alice and they were trusted <strong>for</strong> their personal attention <strong>for</strong> each and every<br />
young horse.<br />
Traveling frequently to Germany, Alice checked on the development of young <strong>Brentano</strong> several times a year. <strong>Brentano</strong><br />
<strong>Ultimo</strong> – who got this name since he is one of the last offspring of both now retired <strong>Brentano</strong> II and dam sire Weltmeyer –<br />
was making great progress while still being playful and enjoying the lush pastures of the Emsland region in northern<br />
Germany.<br />

“At the time Alice picked him up in December, I had 37 young stallions at my stable. All by outstanding heritage. But no one<br />
<strong>com</strong>pared to the young <strong>Brentano</strong>”, says Rudi Rehkamp, owner of Rehkamp’s Training Stable in Bersenbrueck, Germany.<br />
“<strong>Brentano</strong> <strong>Ultimo</strong> is truly a once-in-a-lifetime horse and I’m sure that we all will hear back from him in the future”.<br />
But according to Alice Stuebling-Salm, only time will show if <strong>Brentano</strong> <strong>Ultimo</strong> will fit into the big foot-steps left by famous<br />
half-sister Brentina in the <strong>Dressage</strong> World.<br />
