About Metellus
Metellus is a brown Holsteiner showjumping stallion foaled in 1968, by Marinus out of a Ramzes X dam.
Metellus, a bay Holsteiner stallion born in 1968, is known for his influential pedigree. His sire, Marinus, is part of the Holsteiner breed ancestry, while his dam, Nachtblüte, descends from the famous Anglo-Arabian stallion Ramzes X. This places Metellus in the Holsteiner verband stam 4784, a lineage credited with modernising sport horses for global showjumping success. Although he earned 318 competition points, Metellus did not make a mark in major championships or events like the Nations Cup, reflecting a modest competitive record. His value is seen in his breeding impact and licensing with the Holsteiner studbook. The damline, with mares like Dekanische and Sanna, carries strong genetic attributes impacting many Holsteiner sires.
