Origin: Donna Lady's pedigree combines the famous and very successful combination
of the legendary Donnerhall (Donnerwetter/Markus) with that of Pik Bube I (Pik König/Frustra II). This cross is
highly regarded in Germany and has produced many approved stallions (Dream of Glory, Davignon I and II, Don Schufro, Danny
De Vito, Donatelli, Duntroon, Donnerbube I, and III and Dorano are all from the famous Donnerhall - Pik Bube I cross), top
mares as well as extremely talented performance horses competing at the highest levels in dressage. Her maternal-line
is equally impressive having produced Approved stallions one of which stood at the State Stud in Celle, numerous State Premium
mares as well as horses competing successfully at the Grand Prix level in both jumping and dressage. The exceptional
and highly decorated St.Pr. Windrose (Weltmeyer), who was awarded the prestigious title of Champion 3-year old mare in all
of Germany, also descends from this dam-line.
History/Performance: Donna Lady competed successfully
in the mare shows in
Germany winning her 1a prize each year she was shown. She was Champion of her mare show and was awarded the coveted
"St.Pr." distinction in Germany prior to her importation to Canada. She obtained an overall score of 8 at
her Studbook Inspection in Germany and then went on to complete her Mare Performance Test with an exceptionally high overall
score of 8.22. Her scores include an 8 for walk, 9 for trot, 9 for canter, 9 for rideability and an 8 for jumping ability.
Her total dressage index was an outstanding 8.67! After her Mare Performance Test, Donna Lady went on to compete successfully
in dressage. This beautiful and elegant mare shows very good type and conformation along with powerful gaits and a gentle
disposition. She has breathtaking movement and her athletic ability is exceptional.
Breeding Record: Donna Lady's 2002 filly by Rotspon won the "Champion Foal" title at the AHS inspection.
The judges commented on her femininity and elegance, beautiful and harmonious top-line, excellent neck and gaits. In
2003, she did it again. Donna presented another exceptional filly by Rotspon "Anna" owned by Pam Talbot of
Westbrook Farm. In 2006 a stunning dark chestnut filly by Libery Gold was born. Just as her sisters, she
was named Top filly at Hedgeland Farm's AHS inspection. In 2008 Donna finally produced her first colt by Welfenkonig
II.....and a handsome one at that. He is maturing into an impressive young man and will be inspected at Hedgland Farm
in October, 2008.
