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 1st level young horse tests and
had several successes in 2nd 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.
