Mythos Dionysus
|
Black Sabino Hannoverian Warmblood colt
Born: 2014 - 11 - 10 at 9:26pm To mature to 16.2hh By Danzas (De Niro / Donnerhall / Weltmeyer / Akzent ll) out of a Hannoverian approved mare - French Desert (Saumarez / All Fired up) Dionysus has the same charm and flashy good looks of this fabled character of legend. He has perfect conformation and very extravagant extended movement. He is a tall more modern type of warmblood and will suit a heavier hot blooded warmblood mare. Dionysus has a very relaxed temperament and is extremely loving. He will be compete by Louise Kotze when he comes of age, and they are sure to clean up in the dressage as well as show ring. Words can't do justice to this colt! |

Article about Danzas: http://www.dressageafrica.com/james-bond-group/ Donnerhall was the first of the great competition dressage stallions. Instead of staying at home in his breeding barn, coming out to cover mares (or more likely the phantom mare), Donnerhall hit the competition trail so successfully that he was a valued member of the all-conquering German dressage team, and in doing so started the fashion for breeding stallions who were also serious competitors – a fashion carried on by his son, De Niro. De Niro comes from the Akzent II mare, Alicante, who was herself a successful dressage competitor, and who produced De Niro’s full brother, Dimension, a stallion with a good reputation in Westfalia. Akzent II was particularly noted as a sire of broodmares and as well as De Niro and Dimension, he is the dam sire of: Gralshüter, Carismo, Welton, Trend, Pik Labonics, World Man G, Grannus As and Gracieux.At the stallion licensing in 1995, De Niro demonstrated his jumping ability, and although in his performance test at Adelheidsdorf the following year, he went better in his riding score – 145.41 and best of the year – he was also competitive in the jumping section with a score of 117.75 which put him into 11th. Overall De Niro finished 2nd with a score of 141.93. By the year 2000, and at the age of only seven, he was already competing in Grand Prix dressage with Dolf-Dietram Keller – and the following year carried Mr Keller to the title, German Professional Champion. In 2002, De Niro won international Grand Prix and Grand Prix Special tests at Saumur and Berlin, and in 2003, he was the winner of the German Dressage Derby at Hamburg. More recently the young rider, Theresa Wahler has taken the ride on the stallion, competing him at Grand Prix level. As a sire, De Niro has been a huge success. In 1997 he was awarded the 1-a main premium by the Oldenburg Association on the basis of his progeny. De Niro: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=ymXOYAU_kvA Weltmeyer is a legend in his own time. He was the winner of his stallion licensing in 1987, National Champion of the 3 year old Riding Horses in 1987, Champion of the DLG in Frankfurt in 1989 and Stallion Conformation Class Champion in Hanover. He has outstanding gaits & rideability, cadenced movement & beautiful suspension & elevation. Weltmeyer’s trademark is to leave powerful horses with impressive conformation, good bone & topline, with excellent rideability. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=C5oG22IKPc4 |
