Sir Donnerhall

Producer of champions, approved stallions and auction stars. An exceptional dressage breeding stallion with no ifs or buts. Sir Donnerhall is a Bundeschampion, Vice World Champion and was the undisputed top stallion at his licensing in Adelheidsdorf, where he achieved the highest score ever of 163 in his dressage index.

But his offspring are well on the way to catching him up. In 2010, three Vice Bundeschampions were sired by Sir Donnerhall: North Rhine-Westphalian champion stallion Silbermond, Apassionata and the approved stallion Snap Shot, plus two silver medal winners. One of his sons sold for EUR 300,000 as the most expensive stallion at the 2010 Hanover licensing and he produced two premium status Oldenburg stallions, plus two approved sons in North Rhine-Westphalia. He also sired high-priced elite foals and auction horses - the horse that received the highest bid of EUR 127,000 at the Hanover Elite Auction was by Sir Donnerhall. In 2009, North Rhine-Westphalian champion stallion Silbermond was the most expensive non-approved stallion in Hanover, selling for a price of EUR 195,000. In 2008, Sankt Hülfer sold at auction in Vechta for EUR 300,000 and Schickeria sold for EUR 355,000 in Handorf. Sir Donnerhall's first crop of foals included South German champion stallion Sir Nymphenburg.

Sir Donnerhall's pedigree contains the perfect combination of genes from Sandro Hit and Donnerhall. His dam, Contenance D, was "Brilliantring" mare in Rastede and she is also dam to approved stallion Sir Donnerhall II. Sir Donnerhall is a consistent producer of top dressage offspring
