Description: Ockeross is a stallion producing very athletic offspring, all with the Friendly temperament, Insel's get are known for. He is standing at the Rhineland Stud Farm, owned by Ed and Helga Rothkrantz. Ed has had "Ross" (his barn name) for several years. He presently has many horses by Ross. Many of Ed's mares are line bred to Ed's Olympic horse My King, who was a son of Martel (member of the bronze medal winning dressage team for Germany at the 1952 Olympics)
Ockeross' dam Odessa is also the dam of the 1998 ATA Trakehner Training Level futurity winner Oliver Twist and the filly O'Charlesy who, we are told had received the second highest inspection marks given in the US.
"Ross" was never taken through approval, although he has very fine parents. Apparently someone attempted to ride him as a yearling because he was so large and destroyed one of his hocks.
