Desperado

(Donner Bube – Easter)

If you are looking for a flashy show horse or herd sire in the future, this 2010 colt could fill the bill. His pedigree is laden with strong ancestors and both parents proved their athleticism. The bonus is that he will truly shine when his black coat sheds out.

His sire carries the well known dressage progenitors Donnerhall, Pik Bube I and Grundstein I. He proved his athleticism and work ethic by competing as a 4’ jumper into his teens and then as a PSG dressage horse. Noted dressage clinician and coach, Conrad Schumacher, questioned why a horse of Donner Bube’s caliber was not doing grand prix dressage in Germany. The answer is that he was jumping in Switzerland when purchased and imported to Canada.

His dam is from the Gaspari 340 sire line that has produced so many dressage horses of Swedish ancestry. She is also related to several top jumpers and eventers at the international level. She demonstrated her abilities in the dressage ring, competing to grand prix.

He has the conformation to do a lot of things well, but would likely excel as a jumper.

Owner’s comment:

“Here is a striking colt with a super disposition.”

Trainer's Perspective:

Desperado – This young foal has lots of energy.  Desperado loves to play and is alert to his surroundings.  He has a great attitude and loves attention – he’s easy to catch, lead and tie.
