An exquisite Elite Hanoverian Warmblood Stallion

Derringer's offspring seem to maintain a consistently high standard and this is proven year after year by the foals from mares bred to him. The two year old pictured at the bottom of the page is just one example of the beauty, elegance, refinement and athleticism we have come to expect from his offspring.

Please be patient when clicking on the links to see a larger image as the pictures are nice and of good quality and may take a little while to load.

De-Lyah - Sept. 2000

On March 8, 2000 Riviera gave birth to De-Lyah, a Derringer daughter. Since a picture says more than a thousand words, please see the picture of De-Lyah at left.

We try to stay in contact with the people who have chosen Derringer as a sire and we hear many stories from proud owners of the new D-line foals he has been producing. Being quite proud of these youngsters ourselves, we would like to share this information with you.

Dirigo

Dirigo, a six month old foal, owned by Ms Susanne Hamilton, has a beautiful neck and head. According to Susanne, he is a doll and puts a smile on her face every time she looks at him. "He's got the best personality ever", Susanne says. Susanne, we can only agree with you. It sounds like he got all these good qualities from his father, Derringer.

Donau, 2 years old

We were recently contacted by Susan Hamilton of Mantville, Maine who bred her Pre-Studbook thoroughbred mare to Derringer. Susan was excited and anxious to tell us about the filly that was a result of this cross. She said, "this filly already looks like a grand prix level horse. She is absolutely beautiful and I love her to death." Susan is herself German and for the last three years has been a working student of the well known dressage trainer Michael Poulin. Congratulations to Susan and we look forward to receiving the photos of your Derringer filly.

While looking through the September 5, 1997 issue of the "CHRONICLE OF THE HORSE", I came upon an article entitled, "NORTHWEST HANOVERIAN INSPECTION". The article starts off like this, "Five Hanoverian mares were presented for entry into the studbooks during the 10th American Hanoverian Society inspection at Heritage Farm in Spanaway, Washington, August 4th. Divina, (Derringer-Magissa,Mahogoni) was the champion mare." The article then goes on to quote the owner of the horse who says, "…she hopes to compete Divina in dressage. She has a wonderful disposition, and is forward, energetic and athletic. …The inspection was Divina's show debut, but the experience didn't faze her… She was wonderful to work with. [Handler Ali Buchanan] loved her and talked about what a kind beautiful eye she had. She had a sound mind about everything,". We offer congratulations to this owner on the success of her hanoverian mare Divina sired by Derringer.

1997 foal, Donau

Not long ago we were contacted by Jacalyn Senger of Heatherfield Farm in Maryland. Jackie has bred more than one mare to Derringer but she wanted to tell us about one of this years foals. The foal's name is Dame Dominique and she is out of a mare named Biscayne. She was presented during the 1997 inspection tour on July 24th at Alder Branch Farm in Centerville, MD. and apparently the judges "really liked her". Jackie told us the judges comments about Dame Doninique were that, "you can't fault her". It is our understanding that she was registered and branded at the site.

1996 foal, Dually

We received another message from Diane Cooke of Knightsen, CA. She said "I am so happy to see Derringer back in public again. He is a truly magnificent stallion. I have a '95 gelding by Derringer that is a "keeper". He is out of a main mare book Thoroughbred. He has his daddy's face and topline. I would love to breed this mare back to Derringer, but alas, finances prevent it at this time. Hopefully, in the future I'll be able to rebreed to your stallion. Keep up the good work."

Playtime Lover XX, 1997 filly

To see more photos of Derringer's offspring we encourage you to visit the Vista Ridge Farms web site where they have bred mares to Derringer over several years. Some of these young horses are currently for sale!

Derringer is a proven Hanoverian Warmblood stallion. The bloodlines he carries are an important asset to the hanoverian gene pool and a living historical representation of some of the most famous foundation lines of the Hanoverian Warmblood horse.

Donatella

On March 30, 1998 one of Ashanti Farm's mares, Azure, a beautiful thoroughbred we purchased in Florida, gave birth to a filly sired by Derringer. We've named this filly Donatella and she is another fine example of the quality of Derringer's foals. Donatella is a very leggy bay with three white socks and a star, strip and snip forming an interesting pattern on her face. She is beautiful, elegant and athletic and we are certain that she will mature to be a fantastic horse.

Please check back to our site. We plan to post more photos of Derringer's offspring. The latest information is available on the newborn fillies and foals page.
