Expressive & Atheletic Hanoverian Stallion by DeNiro

Light, expressive, and athletic are all terms that apply to Donarweiss GGF. This is a stallion that comes out ready to work each day and applies himself fully. In-hand show success came easily to Donarweiss. Katja Eilers handled Donarweiss to his 2004 NEDA Grand Champion, New England Cosequin Champion, and USDF Horse of the Year for 3 Year Old Colts & Geldings wins. Donarweiss then traveled to Hunter/Jumper trainer Joe Forest to be started under saddle and prepared for his Stallion Licensing. With a pedigree that included De Niro, Donnerhall, Hohenstein, and Caprimond, DW was always considered to be a dressage prospect. His extreme talent over fences though caught the attention of many professionals. "Donarweiss is straight, correct over fences, with the best technique I have seen since Popeye K," says Joe Forest. Judges at his 30-day test agreed and awarded Donarweiss a '9' for Technique and an '8' for capacity for his jumping ability.

Donarweiss's movement is just as impressive as his jumping ability. Earning scores of '8' and higher for all three gaits, and a '9' for rideability, Donarweiss GGF was named Overall Champion of his Performance Test.

Sire De Niro is also considered a versatile stallion by his Performance Test scores and the competitive success of his offspring. Dressage and jumping riders look to this stallion to produce athletic, exceptional-moving offspring who often have lovely form over fences. De Niro himself has been a successful Grand Prix dressage competitor, not as suprise as his sire, Donnerhall, won numerous World Cup, World Championship, and International Grand Prix wins with Karin Rehbein.

Dam sire Hohenstein was Reserve Champion of his Stallion Performance Test and is very popular with breeders in Germany. His son, His Highness, caused an international sensation when he was sold for a record 550,000 Euro. Hohenstein is the son of Caprimond, whose lovely type and excellent rideability has been utilized in Trakehner and Hanoverian breeding programs very successfully.

Donarweiss GGF is proving to be a consistent producers as his sire and grandsires are. Bred to a wide-variety of mares, his refinement, athleticsm, and lovely topline are evident in his youngsters already.
