Hauptprämiensieger – HLP-Champion – Bundeschampion und Vize-Weltmeister von hoher Exklusivität Außergewöhnlich sichere Vererbungsleistung mit Reservesieger, Prämienhengsten sowie teuren Auktionsfohlen
Ein Hengst, der seinesgleichen sucht. Sir Donnerhall vermag Maßstäbe zu setzen. Aus seinem ersten Körjahrgang wurden auf Anhieb sieben Junghengste gekört, Sir Rubin wurde umjubelter Reservesieger in Vechta. Auf der NRW-Körung wurde ein typbrillanter Sir Donnerhall-Sohn für 150.000 Euro versteigert, in Vechta kostete ein gekörter Sohn 100.000 Euro. Höchst begehrt sind seine Fohlen, von denen Feuertaufe in Vechta für 31.000 Euro zugeschlagen wurde, Ruhm und Ehre brachte 30.000 Euro und ein weiteres Hengstfohlen erzielte 20.000 Euro. Auf dem Deutschen Fohlenchampionat avancierte bei den Hengsten ein Sir Donnerhall-Sohn zum Reservesieger, bei den Stutfohlen gelangte eine Tochter auf den Rang der zweiten Reservesiegerin. Sir Donnerhall selbst legte eine Karriere nach Maß vor – seine Laufbahn krönte er 2006 mit dem überlegenem Sieg im Bundeschampionat der fünfjährigen Dressurpferde. Faszinierend und bejubelt wo immer er auftaucht, wurde er bereits anlässlich seiner Körung als Ic-Prämienhengst ausgezeichnet, siegte in seinem 30-Tage-Test mit Höchstnoten zwischen 9.0 und 10.0 in seinen Grundgangarten sowie brillanten 9.5 in der Rittigkeit. Im 70-Tage-Test setzte er noch einen drauf und erzielte den noch nie da gewesenen Rekord-Dressurindex von 163 Punkten. Nach dem Qualifikationssieg mit 9.2 auf der Weltmeisterschaft der fünfjährigen Dressurpferde erzielte er dort den Vize-Titel. Sir Donnerhall`s Pedigree-Kombination Sandro Hit mal Donnerhall hat sich längst als absolute Spitzenanpaarung mit hoher Erfolgsgarantie erwiesen und findet in Sir Donnerhall ihr Meisterwerk. Mutter Contenance D war selbst Brillantringstute auf der Oldenburger Stutenschau und kommt aus einem erlesenen Stutenstamm. Grundyman xx in vierter Generation rundet das Pedigree mit dem so wichtigen Schuss Vollblut optimal ab. Sir Donnerhall – ein Hengst, wie es ihn nur ganz selten gibt.
