Romedio was one of the early stallions imported to Australia. He was a large, energetic and athletic horse with faultless conformation and temperament. He bred horses in Australia that were successful in dressage, showjumping and breeding.
In Germany he won a Premier Champion Foal, Premier Champion Yearling, and was hugely successful at the 2 1/2 year old stallion selection and the 100 Day Test. In fact, at the stallion selection he scored an amazing 84% or 47 out of a possible 56. He received the maximum 7 out of 8 for five categories and 6 out of 8 for two categories.
Romedio left a lasting legacy in Australia as a sire of stallions and broodmares. He is now represented in the third and fourth generations of riding and breeding horses.
Other Stallions of the same Stem as Romedio include; Le Grande I, II, & III, Caletto I, II & III, Montanus, Coronado and many more.

Sire: Rigoletto x Ramzes. Rigoletto is a household name in the showjumping world. A successful sire in Holstein he was then sold to the Netherlands where he became a keur stallion, favoured by many breeders. He has countless successful sons and daughters in the showjumping field and now his grand and great grand progeny are reaching the heights.
Dam: Waldenserin x Waldenser XX. Waldenserin was a successful showjumping mare by the improvement sire Waldenser. Waldenser carries two crosses of the famous Dark Ronald who has had so much impact on the breeding of jumping horses. Waldenser sired an enormous number of successful broodmares but his most famous offspring at the moment is undoubtedly Sandro who is out of a daughter of the Waldenser son, Wahnfried. Therefore Romedio and Sandro Hit share a similar cross of Ramzes and Waldenser.
Romedio's first crop of foals in Germany left several good riding horses and broodmares including:
Olerma - dam of Lyra by Lord. Winner of the European series of the 1994 Volvo World Cup.
In Australia his success was much more obvious and he was a super cross with some lines of TB mares - particularly Better Boy blood. From this cross came the Grand Prix dressage stallions Mountbatten, Rubens, Romboli and Roanoke and the jumping horse Rembrandt. He is now also the grand sire of a growing number of sport horse sires and broodmares.
