Don Schufro Out for the 2002 Breeding Season
 One
of the most exciting breeding stallions in the world,
Blue Hors Don Schufro, will no longer be available for
the 2002 Breeding season. Beginning May, the stallion
was operated on a "groinfracture". One testicle
has been removed and it will take Don Schufro a long
time to recouperate from heavy surgery. Don Schufro
is absolutely a highlight in the world collection of
breeding sires. Trained and shown by Lars Petersen at
Prix St Georges level, Don Schufro is destined to be
more than just a foundation sire. Blue Hors Cavan, Blue
Hors stud's former number one stallion, experienced
the same injury in 2000 and had to be fully castrated back then.
Don Schufro is by Donnerhall - the world's most winning
dressage stallion. He has innumerable Grand Prix victories
behind him. We have seen him win the Volvo World Cup,
Vilhemsborg 1996. Moreover he has achieved a number
of brilliant placings - among others winner of the German
Dressage Derby and Winner of the Team Gold and individual
bronze at the World Championships in Den Haag in 1994.
Donnerhall has won more than 2 million DK. He is the
sire of more than 30 selected sons and in 1997 he was
selected Sire of the Year in Germany.
Don Schufro is out of Fiesta - a full sister to fantasia,
the dam of Don Primero (by Donnerhall), who won the
Brundeschampionat 1990" with an average of 9.3. Fiesta
is by the sire Pik Bube I - an international dressage
sire with 11 victories in S-dressage, all in one season.
The great grandfather Unkenruf (by Donauwin) has also
won Grand Prix dressage. From the dam's side (Vornholtzer
Hauplinie der Finlanerin) come several sires and internationally
known horses, among others Granulit (by Grannus) "Hauptpramiesieger"
in Oldenburg 1996. His first crop of foals are showing
enormous potential.
In 1999 Don Schufro has competed at advanced and Prix
St. George level, where he won all his four starts with
over 70%. Don Schufro has from his first crop of foals
in Germany got a selected son in the Oldenburg studbook.
In Denmark in 1999 the Foal of the Year was by Don Schufro. At
the 2002 Spring Elite auction in Vechta, the highest
selling horse Der Euro (300,000 €) is by Don Schufro.
