Passion is the type of horse we breeders dream of - solid black with a beautiful head and neck, near perfect conformation, and uphill elastic movement. In addition she is very brave and sweet and will follow you anywhere. She received a well deserved First Premium from the Oldenburg Verband. We plan to add her to our mare herd to replace her dam Donna Akzenta, but would consider a sharing ownership with someone who wishes to ride and show her. She should finish at 16.2-16.3 hands.
Passion's dam, Donna Akzenta, was an Elite Mare Candidate who tied for 7th in the nation for the Hanoverians with an inspection score of 7.5. She had outstanding movement with tremendous power off the ground from the first step. She has been used primarily as a brood mare and has produced three beautiful foals all of whom were black or dark brown.
Her sire Don Primero (DI - 186) is the product of Groenwaldhof's two most famous sires - Donnerhall (DI-156) and Pik Bube I (DI-141, JI-126). Don Primero is one of the best producers of dressage horses in all of Germany. Don Primero has proven himself in the world of international dressage and as a sire of top quality dressage competitors. He has been the world's leading dressage sire for four consecutive years, and earned an incredible 194 index in 2003. In 1990, Don Primero won the German Dressage Horse Championships in Verden, under Heiko Munzmaier, emulating his illustrious sire, Donnerhall. German Olympic Team rider Karin Rehbein then took over saddle duties and trained him up to Grand Prix level. He has also won in-hand and jumping classes. His offspring excel in dressage, but also compete well in advanced show jumping, driving and eventing. Don Primero has 10 licensed sons including Bundeschampions Don Larino and Dimaggio, Don Duriello and Don Bravio. He has been very successful as the sire of Bundeschampionate stars like Devil’s Bride, Dynamico, Dimaggio (also a World Young Dressage Horse Champion) and Don Larino. Cherie has certainly made the step up to FEI ranks and has been virtually unbeatable at Prix St Georges level. Don Primero is a full brother in blood to the Danish based stallion and Grand Prix performer, Don Schufro (whose dam Fiesta is a full sister to Fantasia).
Akzent II ( DI-115) has produced many performance horses such as Atachi as well as the approved stallions Apollo's Flight, Alabaster, Anheltiner, and Akatchi. Donna Akzenta's dam is States Premium Mare Agatha Christie who has produced several Verden Auction horses. Akzent II was regarded as one of the best producers of ridabilty in modern day horse breeding. He is also the dam's sire of the well-known stallions De Niro and Dimension.
Gutenburg is by the Thoroughbred sire Good Match xx out of a Sender mare. Good Match xx also sired the Spruce Meadows stallion Goodwill who produced a number of good hunters and jumpers as well as the Spruce Meadows inspection champion Gracia.
