Roulette aka Roxi is the perfect example of what we aim for when breeding sporhorse prospects with a big future. Even at hours old Roxi had a confident outgoing personality and very sweet attitude. Roxi's sire is the very popular imported stallion standing at Hassler Dressage, Rousseau. From Hasslers website:
"Our flagship stallion Rousseau, occupies a prominent place in our hearts and our aspirations, having managed him into his supremacy as an international breeding stallion. Rousseau's remarkable success is exemplified by the fact that out of his first four foal crops in the Netherlands, Rousseau produced three consecutive Champions of the KWPN Stallion Licensing: Wamberto (2006), Zagreb (aka Blue Hors Zack) (2007), and Ajong (aka Ampere) (2008). From his very first foal crops in Germany, Rousseaualready has four licensed sons: Fiorano named to the Premium Ring of the 2008 VhW licensing, Fuerst Rousseau now standing at Celle, and most recently, a Rousseau-Lauries Crusader licensed in the late 2008 Hanoverian korung and a Rousseau-Del Piero licensed by the GOV. Three of Rousseau’s sons won their stallion performance tests with record-breaking results, Wamberto, Fiorano, and Ampere! With National Champion mares in the Netherlands and top foals around the world, we are just beginning to appreciate the extent of his sovereign influence. In North America, Rousseau’s offspring have claimed top results on the KWPN-NA’s Top Ten every year since 2003! A top class stallion who consistently produces top class offspring. "
Roxi's dam, Fabulux, is a hanoverian elite mare candidate sired by Fabuleux and out of a Winterprinz mare. Fabuleux is becoming is one of the most influential dressage sires in the US right now. Fabuleux was 100 day tested in 2000 and gained scores of 9 for walk, 9 for trot, and 10 for his canter. He also earned 9 for temperament and 9 for willingness to work.
After his licensing in Verden Fabuleux was purchased by leading international dressage stable, Gestüt Hoeftehof, where he competed successfully with rider Holga Finken as a three year old in large open German riding horse competitions. He was Champion of the Gottingen Riding Horse Championships with a score of 8.7. At the prestigious Norten-Hardenberg show he was awarded Reserve Champion Three Year Old.
Fabuleux comes from the world class cross of Fabriano x Auguste.
Dr. Wilkens, managing director of the VhW, calls Fabriano one of the best performance horse producers of Hannovers breeding program today. Fabriano passes on to his progeny elasticity, very good gaits, jumping ability and rideability together with a very good character.

She represents six generations of SPS mares. Her offspring have in turn produced States Premium mares and successful German sport horses.
Fabulux's dam sire ,Winterprinz, is also a very successful dressage producer and competitor. Winterprinz is a son of the outstanding stallion Warkant and his dam was a states premium mare who was awarded Champion 3 year old mare of Germany.
