Biography

Russel II is a proven international performance stallion combining elite Holsteiner genetics, exceptional scope and an outstanding temperament. Bred by Corofino I out of a Lincoln mare, Russel II carries the influential blood of Corrado I, widely respected for producing power, quality and longevity at the highest level. Russel II competed at the very top of international sport, representing Great Britain at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2006 Aachen World Equestrian Games, alongside appearances in fourteen Nations Cups. Renowned for his immense scope and bravery, he was a prolific winner of puissance and six bar classes worldwide, underlining his natural power and careful technique.

These qualities are consistently reflected in his progeny, which include multiple international performers to 1.60m level and beyond. His offspring are noted for their athleticism, strong work ethic and trainable minds, making him a reliable choice for both eventing and show jumping breeding programmes. Available via frozen semen with a Live Foal Guarantee, Russel II offers breeders a rare opportunity to access proven Olympic level performance, exceptional pedigree depth and long term soundness at a highly accessible stud fee.
