Little Bit Farm’s Rashka, Highest Scoring Stallion in US Testing History

At the 2007 Sporthorse Stallion Performance Test at Paxton Farm, Little Bit Farm's three-year-old ISR/Oldenburg stallion Rashka (Raymeister x Tashka/Opus) not only won the 30-Day Short Test, but earned the highest score in the history of U.S. stallion testing, and possibly even in all European testing as well with 164.86!

Although Rashka is still maturing physically at 16.3 hands, his innate talent for both dressage and jumping was more than apparent. He won both the jumping and dressage indexes: jumping 153.80; and the highest stallion test dressage index ever achieved, 175.34; including a “10” canter from all the judges. Rarely does a youngster of three display so much natural aptitude, along with a sweet temperament, the willingness and desire to learn and work, and such a high degree of natural up-hill connection.

Training Leader, Helmut Schrant, gave Rashka all 9’s for character, temperament, ability to work, willingness to work, canter, and rideability. With each of the guest riders, Rashka displayed a work ethic and desire to please that belied his youth and earned him four 9’s and an 8 for rideability. Rashka has all the attributes of a true champion.
