Ravel, the 11-year-old Dutch warmblood gelding together with his champion rider Steffen Peters (both pictured here) have claimed the FEI World Cup Final Dressage and the FEI World Cup Final Grand Prix titles in Las Vegas.
Ravel - owned by Akiko Yamazaki, the wife of Yahoo's Jerry Yang - comes from highly-priced bloodlines. Ravel's sire is none other than Contango who is deceased, but has left behind vials of semen which Iron Spring Farms keeps freshly chilled and ready-for-sale for $1,800. Contango's progenies are also listed online for sale here. Donatalia, Ravel's one-year-old half-sister is listed at $10,500; and Winston ISF, Ravel's handsome six-year-old half-brother at $85,000. Ravel's dam Hautain also bore Contango another son named Showtime. That stallion resides in the United Kingdom.
