presents the Hanoverian Warmblood Stallion Derringer

The Hanoverian Warmblood Stallion Derringer is offering some of the finest German Hanoverian Bloodlines

Pedigree Information:

Derringer's pedigree traces back, on his sire's side, to the stallion Duft II, a leading producer of dressage horses. His great-great grandfather was the Canadian stallion Darling, the most famous Dressage horse in Canada, until his death in 1989. His great-grandfather Damnatz, son of Darling, was used as a breeding stallion in Germany.

Derringer's breeding on his dams side is also quite impressive. Goldstar, his mother, is a descendent of several famous G-line horses including her sire Girabaldi II, who also sired the famous dressage horse Gifted.

Derringer is a descendent of Grande. As a famous stallion who stood in Germany for 25 years (1962-1987), Grande was noted for his inner values which resulted in his own high performance testing and the performance success of his offspring. With Graf by Goldfisch II more from the jumping side and with a Duellant mother, Grande combined dressage and jumping bloodlines and his offspring have been very versatile.

The most recent issue of "The Hanoverian" contains the following quotes:

"The Association of Hanoverian Warmblood Breeders is in existence for 75 years. Dr. Jochen Wilkens, managing director and breeding manager for the last 15 years, addressed some fundamental observations at the annual meeting."

THE STALLION LINES

"Artificial insemination is on the increase (in 1996 its share rose to 85 percent). It causes heavier use of the most favored stallions more so than ever before........... Flavius stallion line is in first place... Offspring from this line is considered the cream of the international dressage scene..."

"The Goldfisch II line advanced to second place because of Gotthard and Grande. We hope that this stallion line will remain popular since it is the most successful Hanoverian stallion line in the sport..."

"The results from international competitions furnish proof that we can breed successful dressage horses and jumpers with our Hanoverian stallions. On the Hanoverian stallion market always those young stallions are in high demand, which carry true Hanoverian bloodlines."

"The Hanoverian" is published by Verband hannoverscher Warmblutzuchter, Germany's Hanoverian society, breed registry and offices which regulate and supervise the breeding, sales and promotion of the Hanoverian horse in Europe and to some extent the U.S.. This publication goes out to owners who have registered horses.
