| Origin Details |
His sire Donnerwetter already mastered the higher orders
of dressage at an early age and often won Grand Prix events with Herbert
and Karin Rehbein. In 1990 Donnerwetter was sold to the USA. In
addition to Donnerhall, his approved sons Donnerkiel, Dobrock
and Don Wienero L acquired renown. His dam Ninette
was mated with Donnerwetter and produced further successful competition
horses. Her daughter Noblesse ( by Pik Bube I
) together with Caprilli presented the premium stallion Certus. |
| Performance Details |
Donnerhall is the most successful dressage horse in
the world and looks back on an exemplary career. He managed like no other
sire of his generation to combine success in breeding and in sport alike.
In 1986 Donnerhall was the German DLG Champion in Hanover. After
many wins in Grand Prix, Grand Prix Special and freestyle classes at International
level he became German champion in Mannheim with his constant rider Karin
Rehbein in 1994, team world champion and individual bronze medal winner
in The Hague. This was followed by another climax in 1997: Team gold and
individual bronze at the European Dressage Championships in Verden. In
1998 he was once more included in the German world championship team and
with Karin Rehbein was a member of the gold medal team in Rome, where
he attained fourth place in the individual results. Donnerhall
won the World Cup European League, as well as being the Oldenburg dressage
stallion of the year in 1997 and 1998 respectively. At the end of 1998
he farewelled himself from competition sport. “fresh as a daisy” at seventeen
years of age and was frenetically applauded at all stages of his farewell
tour. |
| Progeny Details |
It is nearly impossible to provide a complete survey of Donnerhall’s
breeding record here, as it would necessitate the writing of a separate
book. In Germany alone he has produced over 50 approved stallion sons
and more than 35 State Premium Mares. His son Davignon I
was the Federal Riding Horse Champion of 1992. His daughter Primavera
was the champion mare of the Oldenburg elite mare show in 1992 and in
the same year she was champion riding horse and also third in the federal
championships. His daughter Hallo won the elite mare show in Rastede
in 1994. Deutsche Einheit was second in the Federal Championships in Verden
in 1992 and in the same year she was top-priced lot of all the German
Breed Societies auctions reaching DM420,000 (£147,000). Her full brother
Duntroon was vice-champion stallion of the Oldenburg approvals
in 1993 and in 1994 he won the stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf.
Another top-priced lot of the Vechta sales was the approved stallion Donnerschwee.
The approved stallion Don Primero and the mare High Noon 15
made their careers as outstanding dressage horses. High Noon 15
is a full sister to the elite mare Hallo. In 1996 Donnerhall
presented Germany’s highest priced auction horse Donatello. For
years now Donnerhall has been at the very top of the FN (German)
breeding value rating for dressage. His latest highlight was in 1998 where
he presented the most expensive foal of all the breed association auctions:
Deinhard was sold to The Netherlands for DM 155,000 (£54,500) at
the Vechta foal auction. |
