Demirella (
Rheinland / Brown / )
Demirella is
Cinderella's second foal by Don Romantic (Blue Hors). We
are following the development
of her older sister Dariella with a lot of joy and
therefore our expectation was quite high.
Even though she still needs to unfold a little bit, we are already very
impressed by her movements and
her beautiful shoulder and neck line.
Our expectations have been more than fulfilled and on top we received as a
little surprise a brown filly after
three chestnut foals.
Don Romantic descends out of a sport proven family, he was consistantly
bred on dressage performance
at its best.
His
sire is the liver chestnut Don Schufro, a brilliant example for a
stallion excelling in sport and
breeding and probably the most successful Donnerhall son. He won the rideability
index, with the score
of more than 150 points at the stallion
performance test in Adelheidsdorf. Following wins in Prix
St.Georges and Intermédiaire I, he has had victories on the international level,
in the Grand Prix class
i.a., in Aachen, Nörten-Hardenberg, Wiesbaden and Lingen. Don Schufro has sired
13 approved
stallions so far, apart from Don Romantic there are also the very successfull
sire Diamond Hit and Don
Laurie I+II. In 2004 he qualified for the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
Don
Schufro achieved for the
seventh consecutive time the number one ranking in the german dressage breeding
index which proves
him to be a worhty heir of Donnerhalls legacy.
The
damsire Romancier,
who has been trained up to Grand Prix level, had a successful breeding debut
in Oldenburg before being transferred to Denmark. His sire Rosenkavalier won his
performance test
and left 21 approved sons and a high number of successful dressage horses above
all the well known
Rubinstein I (40 Grand Prix wins, Olympia 96, 92 approved
sons).
The thoroughbred Mago xx, who
was approved in Holstein appears in the third generation.
Mago xx was
a successful international dressage horse up to Grand Prix level and a member of the Danish
national
dressage team in World Championships and European Championship for a number of years.
Don
Romantic himself champion stallion and winner of the performance test in
2002 scoring 10 for
canter and rideability. One year later champion stallion in Denmark again and winner of the
challenge
trophy of Aage Ravn as well as the gold medal, which has only been awarded to a young stallion
twice
before. At the young horse championships in Denmark he won the final for the four year
old horses with
again a 10 for his canter from judge Kyra Kyrklund.
Out of his first crop of foals he produced a champion stallion in Denmark as
well as two more approved
stallions. In Denmark and Sweden he had several champion foals and highly
successful participants in
tests for three year old horses. He dominated the danish stallion approval 2009
with 3 approved sons
and the highest price horse.
We believe that Don Romantic not only produces
outstanding foals but
even more important highly rideable riding horses able to fullfill the
expectation the foal has created.
Cinderella's father the
Holsteiner Casaretto, is also father of 10 approved stallions (e.g. the
reserve champion of his approval Cadeau de Dieux). Casaretto delivered plenty of
horses successful on
S level, mainly in dressage, but he also passes on a good jumping ability. With
Calypso I follows a
famous Holsteiner who is known for passing on outstanding dressage
talent.
Cinderella's dam-line has produced several breeding stallions.
The performace test winner Pfeffer from Paradox as well as more recently the
Westfalian HLP –winner and
now Landbeschäler (Landgestüt Warendorf ) Peking
from Polytraum. Further stallions out of this
line are the brasilian jumping stallion Pilot Super Doanjo and ECU from
Ehrentusch (successful in
international Grand Prix with Karin Bettenworth / Dr Cesar Parra). Another highlight out of this dam line
is the
outstanding, with Rolf-Göran Bengtsson international successful westfalian mare Pialotta from
Pilot.
Wildrose, Cinderella's mother, has apart from Cinderella given birth to one more
state premium mare.
Her father Weinberg is one of the most important Westfalian breeding stallions
for performance horses.
His progeny is very highly valued in dressage and show-jumping. He delivered
international highly
successful horses for both disciplines (Warren, Wum, Nikolaus, Goldstern).
Wildrose's mother Adria delivered as a special highlight, the state premium mare
Piazza from
Playmate xx. Piazza won the westfalian elite show in 1998 and received the 1d
price (4th place) at the
national mare show.
Zitat Andreas
Helgstrand at the 2005 World Cup finals in Las Vegas :

“I
must say my best horse ever is a son from Don Schufro, Don Romantic,
he won the licensing as a four year old, and that horse is now six....Don
Schufro is good, but that horse is amazing, an unbelievable horse.
