Brentano Ultimo at Rudi Rehkamp's Stable, Germany
Whispering Dream Owner Alice found this 2006
chestnut colt on a small farm in northern Germany when
she was on one of her annual tours of visiting
small-sized breeders. She always looks out for top-notch
blood lines but with mares standing at small owner
operated horse farms with just a few horses that receive
comprehensive personal attention every day.
To watch a short video that shows how Brentano is
naturally turned out with his dam and 2005 half-sister
