Donnerhall - Oldenburg
Florestan I - Westphalian
How can one possibly find the words for a
stallion like Donnerhall? Another great horse
coming from the 1980's, the chocolate chestnut stallion danced his way into our hearts and
remains there still.
A prolific sire of outstanding dressage horses,
Florestan I has sired more than 1,000 registered broodmares with 190 being awarded the
coveted States Premium title. He is also sired
an more than 80 licensed sons, including the
famous dressage performer and sire: Fidermark.
As a sire, Donnerhall sired 77 approved sons
and 84 States Premium mares. His genetics
are still proving themselves in the competitive
arena through the stallion Damon Hill, among
many others. Donnerhall offspring are known
for being quick learners with wonderful dispositions.
Unfortunately, frozen semen for Donnerhall is
not available, making his remaining sons even
more precious.
Florestan I carries the important genes of Furioso II and is considered to be a stamping sire.
It is considered that some of his best crosses
are on mares with heavy Thoroughbred breeding.
