Shooting
star combination Roman Nature and Marlies van Baalen
dazzled a sell out crowd in the Ijsselhallen of Zwolle
during the International Stallion Show. Forming an adversary
pair, Roman Nature, a "Rhinelander" bred stallion, is
ridden by the "Dutch" young rider Marlies van Baalen.
Scoring a winning 72.95% in the preliminary round and
76.17% in the finals, "Romy" transformed himself into
the undisputed connoisseur of his age class, the five
year olds. Currently stabled and trained at Johan Hinnemann's
barn in Voerde, Germany, Roman Nature will form a steady
duo with Van Baalen. The 19 year old Marlies is following
an education at the Warendorfer Reitschule in order
to become a certified dressage trainer.
Roman Nature's premier successes took place in Germany
where he won the federal championships for German Riding
Horses in Warendorf under Marie Uffing. The young bay
stallion (by Rohdiamant out of an Ehrentusch dam) was
then three years old. "He absolved his stallion performance
test in Warendorf as eleventh of his age class, achieving
a clear lead in the partial index rideability in which
he ranked among the top" (Ausgewählte Hengste Deutschlands,
2000). The gorgeously built warmblood is approved for
the Rhinelander and Westphalian studbook, and is currently
participating in the KWPN
stallion licensing days at the Brabanthallen in Den
Bosch.
