|
Der Graf is a 17.1 hand mahogany bay 2000 Zweibrucken stallion by Donnerhall
out of Princess, by Pik Koenig / Graphit. Der Graf offers American breeders a
special opportunity to breed to the very best bloodlines Europe has to offer.
From the celebrated Donnerhall x Pik Koenig cross, with the powerful heritage of
Graphit as well on his mother's line, Der Graf offers his own.
Modern in type, leggy and elegant, Der Graf promises to follow in his famous
sire's footsteps in the dressage ring. Imported from Germany in the fall of
2000, Der Graf was the sale topping foal, sought after by all at the 2000
Rheinland Pfalz-Saar Elite Foal Auction in Zweibrucken, Germany. Der Graf's
pedigree reads like a who's who of the sport horse world.
In 2007 Der Graf, who was sponsored by Bandelaro Inc, shipped off to CA in
the spring to begin his show career. We attended Dressage at DG Bar and
Dressage at Flintridge and placed both 1st and 2nd scoring from 66%-67%.
That same year we were invited back to CA to clinic with world renowned
dressage olympian Monica Theodorescu. Thank you Bandelaro Inc. for
making this possible. We could not have done it with out you!!!
