Donners First Lady

(Donner Bube – Falcon II)

This 2008 filly has very strong dressage bloodlines and represents the Donnerhall/Falkland cross that produced the junior dressage horse, Dreamcatcher, who was later shown as Don Falco. As Don Falco, the Donnerhall/Falkland gelding, won and placed in material classes scoring up to 8.3, scored up to 7.8 in 1^st level young horse tests and had several successes in 2^nd level young horse tests in Europe.

Few stallions have the strength of pedigree that Donner Bube possesses, and few have that strength while being current in today’s competitions. He won his stallion test in Switzerland, scored the highest in rideability of 164 horses, and has been approved by the Oldenberg Verband, Canadian Warmblood and Canadian Sport Horse registries. Many of the Donner Bube offspring have won championships and all seem to inherit his excellent paces, intelligence and rideability.

Her dam, Falcon II, is by Falkland (Hanoverian) and out of Lucky Factor xx, whose ancestors have contributed to international competitors in jumping and eventing as well as champion hunters. Falkland, despite being of strong jumping lines, sired Faberge, the international dressage horse ridden by Beatriz Ferrer-Salat of Spain.

She has the conformation to be a joy to ride and delightfully light on the forehand.

Owner’s comment:

“She is going to be a big mare! She’s a terrific mover and should have excellent form and scope over fences.”

Trainer's Perspective:

Donners First Lady – This is a 2-year-old filly with lots of energy.  She is learning quickly and has lots of potential for the future.  First Lady is super friendly and is easy to catch, lead, tie, groom and she stands well for the farrier.  She is good to tack up and has started lunging a little.
