Dark Ronald line stallions

Postby vineyridge » Fri Sep 23, 2011 8:26 am

I know Surumu was Dark Ronald and was a great German stallion. After Acatenango, are there any other Surumu or Dark Ronald lines stallions still active in Germany or anywhere else for that matter? Germany has been the preservation of so many lines through their regional breeding, especially to Dark Ronald, that it would be a complete shame if that line were dead or dying there.

Posted before I looked at Acatenango. Ambassador is at Darby Dan now, and there is Blue Canari in Switzerland. I'm sure there are others from him. In fact, there are several who are being used in eventing in Germany.

Are there other Dark Ronald lines (not Acatenango) still alive tail male?

What about Herbager lines--or did most of them end up as broodmare sires?
