Donnatella

Donnatella is an outstanding quality broodmare sired by the world-famous dressage stallion Donnerhall, out of a State Premium mare from a very proven top German dam line by Pik Bube. The combination of Donnerhall x Pik Bube has proven extremely successful world wide. Donnatella was bred by the stud which had Donnerhall, the "Groenwohldhof stud" in Germany and is out of one of their foundation mares, Lafayette, who is the dam of many top comptetion horses. Donnatella is the full sister to the top stallion Don Primaire. She is 16.3hh and very scopey with huge powerful paces and is registered with Oldenburg, British Hanoverian Society, British Warmblood Society, Sports Horse Breeders GB and Scottish Sports Horse. Donnatella is graded with the British Hanoverian Society (score 7) and passed her mare performance test. She was brought to Britain as a foal after being awarded a 'Foal Premium' and competed in affiliated dressage up to Elementary level.

Donnerhall had numerous successes in international dressage but also proved himself as a legendary sire with about sixty licensed sons world-wide, including De Niro, Donnerschlag and Donatelli.

Donnatella's dam, Lafayette, was a State Premium mare who also produced the stallion Don Primaire. The dam's line goes directly back via the Trakehner stallions Magister and Lateran to the world-famous Ramzes daughter Ramona. Under Alwin Schockemohle, Ramona had a series of victories at the highest level of international showjumping. Within four seasons- from 1959 to 1962- Ramona had accumulated enormous winnings for her time, amounting to more than DM 40,000.

Donnatella's full brother, Don Primaire, is successfully performing in the light Tour, thereby confirming his performance test in which his balanced character, pureness of gaits and riding-horse qualities stood out. His offspring are successful selection and sport horses. Don Primaire has a high dressage index of 148 along with high scores for both conformation (111) and movement (108).

Donnatella also has a Verband Premium full sister at Crosiadore Farm who is being successfully bred from in America by embryo transfer and who has produced a State Premium daughter.

Donnatella's first foal was Faside Rubins Black Magic, a black filly by Rubin Star N. 

In 2010 Donnatella produced another black filly, Faside Sandros by Sandro Hit.

In 2013 Donnatella had a chestnut colt by Wolkenderry.
