Dressage
Royal is a stallion whose name clearly defines his talents. He is a
stallion that is descended from the ‘royal combination of Donnerhall and
Rubinstein! Dressage Royal wears his black c
Dressage Royal distinguishes himself not only because of his excellent
conformation, his unimpeachable character and his fantastic pedigree, but
also through his own performances: his ridability, his basic gaits and his
show jumping skills are of
Directly from Hengste Kothe – “Dr. Eike Wiemer, representative of the Agricultural Professional Association, underlined it on the occasion of the final tests in Münster-Handorf: "DRESSAGE ROYAL - an impressive name for an impressive horse!" He is not only a dream of a horse with outstanding basic gaits and exceptional show jumping qualities; the Donnerhall-Rubinstein-son is also first-class choice as far as supplying sperm is concerned. And that's not typical for every stallion! The Alsenhof-youngster fulfils his paternal tasks in a cool and relaxed manner, with a convincing intelligence and a youthful self-confidence - a prime example of an equestrian character everybody is looking for. Mare owners should take special note of this stallion because of the high trainability and rideable temperament that is found in his genetic heritage with the dressage greats Donnerhall and Rubinstein in such close proximity. These two stallions are consistently found in the Top 5 of the FN Rankings in Germany. Their genetic contribution to the sport of dressage will be felt for generations – these two stallions consistently produce horses that can be ridden by amateur and professional alike at the highest levels in sport.
His
outstanding son Damsey wowed spectators at his licensing being crowned
winner at the 2004 Danish licensing and earning high praise at the
Hanoverian licensing for private stallions in February. At that time, his
breeders Dorit & Hermann Kothe sold him to the Celle State Stud. He
has since sold on to the current president of the American Hanoverian
Society – Canadians Doug & Louise Leatherdale! You can see more
information about Damsey at www.leatherdalefarms.com
or the stallion station where he is in Germany – http://www.jens-meyer.com/
Both sites have numerous images of Damsey & his offspring. He was a
competitor at the 2006 & 2007 Young Horse Dressage Championships and
drew praise from Eurodressage author Astrid Appels for his correct
training in 2007. You can view the photos & comments (scroll down)

other sons have been licensed for breeding in Europe – they have
received favorable comments on their type, conformation and outstanding
disposition. Dorlingcourt (http://www.bramall-dusche.de/hengste_doringcourt.htm
), Uno Don Diego (Dressage Royal x Falkland) who was awarded Premium
status, after completing his Licensing with scores of 9, 9, 8, 9, 8, 7, 8,
9, 8 and 9, and is now standing at stud in Denmark. Dorlingcourt

been licensed and followed in the hoofprints of these other promising
stallion sons –they’re all beginning excellent sporting careers with
their various owners and breeding simultaneously. A Dressage Royal x
Rohdiamant x Lysander son is up for licensing this fall (2007) in Vechta -
http://olpferde-media.nvsolutions.de/media/DE%20433330699005/JH_Seite_18.jpg The price highlight of the Vechta Fall Elite Auction (October 2007) was the four year old gelding Desperado (out of a Rouletto/Barsoi xx mare). Desperado was the clear highlight of the auction collection with his rhythm, powerful movement and mesmerizing gaits – resulting in the knockdown price of 210,000 Euros! This lovely gelding was purchased the Pferde_24 group from Baden-Wurtemburg. Here is the link to the auction write up in English - http://www.eurodressage.com/auctions/vechta/2007/el_oct.html and the one in German - http://www.oldenburger-pferde.com/pferde/67_1416.php Video
of Desperado can be found here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIHPx7Ga6j0 At the 107th Elite Auction at Verden, the
Dressage Royal filly, Desiree (Dressage Royal x Akzent II), sold for the
top price of 10,000 Euros, and was exported to Italy. Dolce (Dressage
Royal x Espri) is under the tutelage of Debbie MacDonald and competing
very successfully in the United States. Here
in the States at Watermark Farm, daughter Daylily WF out of Achtung Again
WF (by Again and Again x Sir George Gaylord xx) was a First Premium
Premier with an overall score of 8.1 with favorable comments on being an
improvement over her dam and praise for her movement, gaits and overall
appearance. Don William WF out of Savannah WF (by South American Way xx x
Abundance) had reached an awkward stage in his development at 5 ½ months,
so he did not impress the judges overly much. That being said, he received
praise for his temperament, gaits and conformation while being granted a
First Premium with a score of 7.4. We have three mares confirmed in foal
for 2008 with Dressage Royal offspring – Achtung Again WF, Abracadabra
WF & Savannah WF. Several outside mares are also confirmed in foal, so
we look forward to seeing what 2008 holds for everyone!

Bieterduell um den vierjährigen Desperado behielt die Pferd 24 GmbH aus
Baden-Württemberg die Oberhand. Der rappfarbene Dressage Royal-Rouletto-Sohn
aus der Zucht von Karl Lenk, Glossen, wird von der bekannten
Championatsreiterin Nadine Plaster weiter gefördert. Während Desperados,
der bereits Seriensiege in Reitpferdeprüfungen und Platz vier beim
Oldenburger Landeschampionat vorweisen kann, in Deutschland bleibt, wird
Re Call die Reise nach Brasilien antreten. Die staatsprämierte vierjährige
Royal Olymp-De Niro-Tochter (Züchter: Ira Denkhaus, Plaaz),
Bronzegewinnerin beim Landeschampionat und platziert beim Bundeschampionat,
wurde für 91.000 Euro zugeschlagen. 13 der Reitpferde kosteten 50.000 Euro und mehr, darunter der Sandro Hit-Rubinstein-Sohn Savonarola (Z.: Wilhelm Hoffrogge, Dötlingen), der für 85.000 Euro in einen Dressur-Ausbildungsstall in Nordrhein-Westfalen wechselte. Wolfgang Stritzke aus Schleswig-Holstein legte 75.000 Euro für Dorion an. Der dunkelfuchsfarbene Dormello-Sion-Sohn aus der Zucht von Wilfried Schlotmann, Bakum, soll von Martin Christensen weiter gefördert werden, der kurz zuvor mit dem ehemaligen Auktionspferd Del Martino überlegen das 22. Vechtaer Dressurchampionat gewonnen hatte. Teuerstes Springpferd war mit einen Zuschlagspreis von 50.000 Euro Qualitive de la Vie (v. Quattro B-Pilot, Z.: Gestüt Lewitz, Steinfeld).

Wernke, Cloppenburg), unter dem Sattel von Nadine Plaster zu sehen sein. „Wir sind äußerst zufrieden“, kommentierte Verbandspräsident Wilhelm Weerda das Ergebnis der 67. Elite-Auktion und nannte als Grund für den Rekord-Durchschnittspreis die beispiellose Qualitätsdichte der Kollektion. „Auch freut uns, dass trotz regen Auslandsinteresses auch viele gute Pferde in Deutschland geblieben sind.“ Auktionator Uwe Heckmann schloss sich dem an, dankte den Züchtern, Ausstellern und seinem Auktionsteam, ohne die dieses Ergebnis nicht hätte erzielt werden können, und kündigte für die 43. Winter Spezial-Auktion am 8. Dezember 2007 erneut eine hochkarätige Kollektion an. Watermark Dressage Royal Foals

expression. His pedigree is as exceptional as his appearance. He is sired
by the great dressage stallion Donnerhall, who won the team gold medal and
the individual bronze medal during World Championships in Den Haag in
1994, along with achieving many other notable sporting titles. Donnerhall
is one of the most important stallions worldwide, passing his
above-average dressage qualities on to his offspring. Dressage Royal’s
damsire, the legendary Rubinstein I, also had an exceptional influence on
the European dressage breeding and advanced level dressage sport for more
than a decade and also left his invaluable genes for the future. The
maternal granddam is also a stallion of note – Futuro by Furioso II who
revolutionized sport horse breeding permanently. The great-grandsire is
also an important figure in both breeding and sport – Magister, who was
the undisputed winner of the Trakenher Stallion Licensing in 1965.

His ridability for dressage was judged with 8.21 points, his show jumping
qualities with a straight 8.00 during his stallion testing. Dressage Royal
is fully trained to the Grand Prix level and has tournament success in
Germany as a young horse.
