Donatella by Sir Donnerhall/Don Frederico/White Magic (Lots of dressage royalty in her bloodlines!)
Gorgeous and elegant 16.1hh black mare who took time off to have an Elite foal, and is now solid First Level, schooling Second, and ready to get out and start a show career. (Or have some more FABULOUS foals!) She is a lovely mover, but one of those rare ones that is easy to sit! Suitable for an intermediate or better Jr., YR, or AA who would like a personable, sweet horse to develop up the levels. Uncomplicated and not naughty, but forward thinking with an engine, so needs a rider with enough skills to not be intimidated by that.
Awarded “Elite Foal” and “Site Champion” at both her foal and again at her Mare testing, the Oldenburg inspectors said “WOW!!! What is not to like?” The jury then asked “Can we see her go again, to enjoy it one more time?” The jury commented that she moves uphill with a lovely topline, great elasticity and swing, natural cadence and joint articulation, with good carrying power and impulsion from behind.
Ties, bathes, body clips, trailers, and has had no health issues. She was easy to get in foal and was an excellent mother. Baseline radiographs available. She does crib, but comes with a humane crib collar and cribs very little in that. No colic issues, scoped and no ulcers.
She is good in a stall, but also gets along in a herd/pasture situation. Super quality mare, lower price reflects her wearing a crib collar, and the fact we are closing down our breeding program. Come try her out if you want champagne, but have a beer budget.
