Don Presidente

Description

Don Presidente has a big frame, long legs, and an expressive presence. He is bred out of one of the most reliable mare lines from Hanover. He has the bloodlines of Argentinus through this mother line and has had great influence in Hanoverian breeding. Dam, Floria Tosca, was the leading mare of 45 mares shown at the mare performance test at Kochingen and she was awarded the “Best Mare of the Show” in Konigslutter am Elm. Out of this mare line comes Fabuleux, a stallion standing in the US, and La Rhania by Londondery ridden by Isabell Werths. Also Felix under Heike Crome-Sperling comes from this family. Dauphin, sire of Don Presidente, also stands at the State Stud Celle. Dauphin is an elegant black stallion with three excellent basic gaits with the valuable genes of Donnerhall-Feiner Stern-Freiherr-Furioso, who all made a tremendous impact on performance horse breeding. Dauphin has an impressive breeding index for dressage and high conformation improvement in his foals.
