Here is the announcement !
Congratulations Karin… at 4:00 pm, Thursday afternoon, St.Pr.St. Danina gave birth to a beautiful colt! Very similar in type and markings to Tiamo. Mare and colt are terrific.
Danina was recently imported from Hengststation Pape one of the top producing Hanoverian stallion stations in Germany. She is an exquisite daughter of Davignon, who earned high scores at her inspection and Mare Performance Test.
Danina’s sire, Davignon is widely regarded as Donnerhall’s best offspring. He represents the well recognized pairing of Donnerhall and a Pike Bube daughter, Piroschka. This combination has produced numerous licensed stallions, States Premium Mares and German National Championship participants. Davignon was Reserve Champion of his Stallion Performance Test and has gone on to claim many competition championships. His offspring command high prices both as foals and performance horses.
Danina’s dam, St. Pr. St. Wenke is by Werther. Werther was the first winner of the Hanoverian Stallion of the Year Award, and consistently remains in the top ranks of the FN Breeding Index as a sire of competition horses for all disciplines.
Danina earned high scores in her Mare Performance Test as a three-year-old. Studies in Germany have shown a high correlation between the Mare Performance Test and the ability to predict the talents of her offspring. Danina earned an outstanding overall score of 7.78 with individual scores as follows:
Walk 9
Trot 8
Canter 8
Rider Score 8
Guest Rider Score 8
Free Jumping Technique 7
Free Jumping Capability 7
She also earned 4th place at Dressage at Devon 2002 in the Broodmare class.
Her first foal by Bergamon earned Premium status in Germany. Her second foal by Regazzoni was Reserve Colt Site Champion at his AHS inspection and is progressing beautifully under saddle. Her 2003 and 2004 colts by Contucci earned high praises at their AHS inspections and then went on to earn high ribbons at Dressage at Devon.More details to be announced.
