Rubinstein's full brother Amon also took part in the Olympic Games three times. Johann Hinnemann, the former federal trainer of the German dressage elite, once said, "When we consider a stallion of the century, we refer to Rubinstein. His hereditary transmission is unequalled in respect to rideability seating comfort, affability and preparedness to perform. Truly a legendary stallion."
