Descendant:
Lord Romantic is a son of Don Romantic, who was Stallion of the Year in Denmark in 2010. On his turn, he has the famous and recently died stallion Don Schufro as a father, who caused a furore in sports with, among other things, the Olympic bronze team medal under Andreas Helgstrand.
Lord Romantic's dam, Veroniek, descends from Grand Prix stallion Krack C, who has had a lot of influence in dressage breeding. She classified in Z2 dressage and her dam Normiek (by Hitchcock) managed to produce even more good sport horses. She is the mother of a ZZ-Heavy horse from Apache and Z-dressage horses from Tolando and Gribaldi. Normiek is the half-sister of the Small Tour horse Donzel (by Zeoliet) and their mother Termiek (by Onyx) is also the (great) grandmother of a large number of sport horses.
