Eurodressage F.O.C.U.S.

Don Primero sold to Sweden

Donnerhall's most successful offspring, Don Primero, is sold to Sweden. Born in 1985 on breeding farm Gronwoldshof, Don Primero descends from the first crop of foals by Donnerhall and is considered to be an excellent example of the highly talented breeding combination Donnerhall x Pik Bube I.

Closely following his sire's foot steps Don Primero transformed himself into a top quality dressage star. In 19990 the five year old Don Primero won the German federal championships for Dressage Horses under Heiko Munzmaier. German Olympic Team rider Karin Rehbein quickly took over the reins and trained this black star up to Grand Prix level. In 1998 and 1999 Don Primero appeared on the scene under Falk Rosenbauer. Claimed to be sold for 1,800,000 Deutsch Marks, the Donnerhall son will continue his show career in Sweden where he will function as school master and breeding stallion. Three of his male descendants already received a breeding licence: the 1999 Bundeschampion Don Larino, Don Duriello and Don Bravio.
