Totilas knows no short-time work. The now 20-year-old dressage stallion who is far beyond the limits of its sports in addition to popularity, is in demand as a sire. So a lot of times dad visited on the weekend for the deck service in his second home mills, while on his ordinary residence in the Hessian town of Kronberg, some of his children were directly behind the Stall you Can.

Matthias Rath, at tournaments and Championships in the saddle of the spectacular stallion, trained several of the sons and daughters. The current favorite is the 35-Year-old, however, is of other descent. Destacado, Raths, “in the past, complete test horse”, has the genes of a Team-the Olympic champion Desperados.
