Rhumba, born June 7, 1998, is a Ster chestnut mare by Idocus out of Wanroij Keur Preferent mare, Never Say Never. She is 16hh. Rhumba is very well balanced with tremendous athletic ability.
Rhumba tied 5th place for conformation for Studbook/Ster mares in the NA/WPN's "Top Ten" list, of the 2002 keuring! She is the mother of Versailles (by Orame), Zeta (by Metall), Bolero NSN (by Sir Donnerhall), Electra NSN (by Soprano), Gauguin NSN (by Sir Gregory), Hadiya NSN (by Sir Gregory), and Jahina NSN (by Sir Gregory). The under saddle picture above was taken October, 2010, showing Rhumba at 12 years old and in foal to Sir Gregory (Sir Donnerhall x Don Gregory).
Rhumba is 3/4 sibling (same sire, dam-sire) to Olympia, bred by Dr. and Mrs. Carlos Jimenez. Olympia was three time winner at DAD, and 2nd Under Saddle in 1999. She was third in the country for NA/WPN star mares Best of the Best.
Rhumba has been professionally trained under saddle and hacks, but has spent most of her time as a broodmare.
Rhumba is a great mom and a sweet mare. Her sire, Idocus, was a member of the 2004 Dutch Olympic Team.
In 2017, Rhumba earned her D-OC predicate after being DNA tested for OCD by the KWPN. This means she is unlikely to pass on OCD to her foals.
