DIEGO
BIRTH DATE: July 18 2009
SIRE: Donnersohn
REGISTERED: Registered and branded with the German Hanoverian Verband


Diego is one nice foal, he’s a robust, powerful colt – he looked about a month old when I saw him the morning he was born! He is so strong and I haven’t seen him take a miss step yet. And with joints like his, I’d say he’s going to be another monster horse like his older half brother Rival. Diego has a gorgeous glossy black coat now, but I suspect that will be traded in over the years for a flashy grey color. This is my first breeding for more of a dressage result; I figured starting with the Donnerhall line might be a good idea. I absolutely can’t wait to watch this guy grow and develop. I think he’s going to be a super powerful horse in the competitive ring. I literally get “stuck” in the barn just watching him; there is something very captivating about this colt.

Update: Spring 2011

My “monster” colt, I call him, so huge, and still from the looks of his joints, lots of height to come. I guessed wrong though, he doesn’t appear to be trading in his glossy black coat for a grey one. I’d say he’s a pretty straight forward kind of guy, easy going, has a bit of his mom’s prankster ways, likes to play and tease “the girls” in the herd. Should have all the power in the world and the scope to take on eventing or jumping, but at the same time that power might be well used in the dressage ring too, I guess he’s a clean slate ready to be pointed in a number of directions. He is gelded and ready to start some handling and trailering work this spring.

More pictures will be posted as I take them, and a video can be created on request.
