Sandro Hit ... 17H 1993 Black by Sandro Song out of Elite Mare Loetta by Ramino.

Sandro Hit is a Bundeschampion and Dressage World Champion with a phenomenal breeding record who has founded a new dressage horse breeding dynasty. Sandro Hit never fails to take your breath away no matter how many times you see him perform!

Sandro Hit is a top sire who produces absolutely first rate offspring. He has stamped his qualities on a whole era of modern horses, producing beautiful progeny with dynamic cadence. His sons and grandsons pass on his excellent genes and their offspring include many top competition and breeding horses. Sandro Hit’s son San Amour won the main premium title by a wide margin, his full sister, Victoria, won the Oldenburg Regional Championship, and the full sister to Poetin took the reserve champion mare title for competition horses. Sandro Hit is a groundbreaking stallion who is influencing dressage horse breeding the whole world over. Sandro Hit foals and horses are regularly sold at auction for prices in excess of EUR 100,000. Three year old St. Emilion was sold at the P.S.I. Auction in 2008 for EUR 550,000. Sandro Hit is a regular record breaker and the list of his successful offspring is endless. His son Soliere won the 2008 Hanoverian Championship (full brother to Senergy) and 10 of Sandro Hit’s progeny have followed this striking black World Champion and Bundeschampion’s footsteps by winning the Bundeschampionat. His offspring are competing in advanced level dressage and Salieri OLD has won several international Grand Prix with his rider, Victoria Max-Theurer. Sandro Hit’s mother, Loretta, is one of the best breeding mares in the world. She also produced Grand Prix horse and Vice World Champion Diamond Hit, and premium stallion Royal Hit. Loretta’s sire, Ramino, was five times Italian Show Jumping Champion, and Welt As, Sandro Hit’s maternal great-grandsire, produced Olympic gold medallist Bonfire/Anky van Grunsven

Sandro Hit is proving to be an extremely successful stallion, both in dressage competition and as a sire of numerous top foals. In 1999 he became Six Year Old Dressage Horse World Champion, and winner at the German Federal Championships in Warendorf. Best Young Stallion of 2000 is just one of the titles he won that year. As many as 10 licensed sons came out of his first foal crop, and his daughter, Poetin, was the winner of the 3 year old mare and gelding section at the German Federal Championships in 2000. Poetin, who became World Champion and Bundeschampion for 2003 and has been described as ...' one of the most beautiful and talented dressage horses of this decade' ... sold for a World Record price of € 2,500,000 at auction in 2003. Sandro Hit continues to earn points through his progeny: in the dressage horse classes, not only does he have the highest index of 153 in the whole of Germany but the highest security (accuracy or consistency) rate at 88%.

In 2001, five of the top 10 foals in Germany were by Sandro Hit. In 2001 he sired the Federal Champion and two Vice Champions. For years his offspring have been winning medals at the National Young Horse Championships, for example Show Star, National Young Horse Champion 2001 and Vice-Champion 2002. In 2002 alone, he produced two Champion stallions, Sir Wilson and Stedinger. In 2006, a Sandro Hit foal sold for a record €103,000 at the Elite Hanoverian Mare and Foal sale in Verden.

A number of his offspring attained peak prices at different European auction sites: Starlett, at DM 140,000 was the top of the broodmares and the overall top priced Schatzinsel at the 2000 Vechta spring auction. At multiple auctions, he has produced one top foal after another. At the 2002 Spring auction in Vechta his son, Super Star, sold for over € 250,000. Sandro Hit's progeny are causing a sales sensation wherever they appear: in The Netherlands in 2003, Sandritana Olympia was the most expensive foal, she was sold for € 31,000. He also sired the most expensive foal in England.

His sire, Sandro Song was Oldenburger Champion Young Stallion and Main Premium Champion. The dam’s sire Ramino was Stallion Performance Test Champion and later on five times Italian Champion. His dam, Elite Mare, Loretta also produced the reigning Vice-World Champion and Vice-National Young Horse Champion, Diamond Hit, and the highly elegant 1c premium stallion, Royal Hit.

Solière Successful at the Federal Championships

The impressive four-year-old stallion SOLIÈRE by Sandro Hit out of the elite mare Donatella competed at the prestigious Federal Championships in Warendorf. The successful music producer Paul van Dyk is the owner of the stallion out of the victorious Fidermark-line, and he was presented by the experienced rider Eva Möller. The gorgeous, shiny black stallion ranked fifth in the final.

One month before, SOLIÈRE (bred by Sandra Neff) achieved two convincing victories at the Hanoverian Riding Horse Championships for four-year-old stallions, staged on the occasion of the World Breeding Dressage Championships for Young Horses in Verden - please see the photo to the right.
In Warendorf he scored 8 for trot and canter. “An extremely beautiful and expressive trot although he missed the last suppleness today,” was the judges’ final statement. SOLIÈRE presented a well-balanced walk, always maintaining the rhythm for which he scored 7.5. Judges’ wish there could have been a little more forward drive from the shoulder. “Beauty and perfection of his conformation can hardly be topped,” confirmed Bruno Six, and SOLIÈRE scored 9 for his nearly perfect exterior and 8 for the presentation of his trainer.

SPM Summer Night Proves Hard to Beat

With excellent results achieved at tournaments, the three-year-old Hanoverian mare SPC SUMMER NIGHT by Sandro Hit (owner: Nicole Wanning, Germany) out of Donnatella is currently very popular in Germany. The performances at her first two tournaments (exclusively against four-year-old competitors) under the professional training and riding instructor Ludwig Huser were very impressive and resulted in outstanding scores of 8.6 and 8.5. Because of her extraordinary quality, she qualified for the International Dressage Festival “Kampmann-Cup” 2006 in Lingen where she ranked third under Denis Huser (see the photos above). The young, successful mare completed her mare performance test with a fantastic final score of 8.3.

Donatella’s dam the State Premium Mare ELFE by Einblick (trained up to Grand Prix-level) won three first-class prizes at mare shows. She won divisions and was Champion Mare of the Show in Göttingen (Germany) and at the 1994 Rathje-Niebuhr-Show in Verden, she was the sixth best mare under 40 selected four-year-old horses. She is also the full sister to:

• ERNIE by Einblick – successful jumper up to advanced level under Jörg Fredershausen (GER).

State Premium Mare ELFE is out of LASSIA by Lasso, who is the full sister of five Verden auction horses, among them Lyra 9 and La Bandita who were very successful at jumping competitions.

Grand Dam SPM ELFE Is Also the Dam of:

• WATONGA by Werther – she achieved the second best result at her performance test in Münster-Handorf. She supplied two stallions in series for the Westphalian Stallion Licensing, and is the dam of:

• FIDERMARK by Florestan I – Reserve winner at the North Rhine-Westphalian Stallion Licensing in 1994. In 1995, he clearly led the stallion performance test against all other Warendorf state stud stallions. And this success was no coincidence: In 1996, he competed in the division of four-year-old riding horses in Münster, and against extremely strong competitors, he convincingly won the Federal Championship title in front of a home crowd in Warendorf. He sired more than 20 licensed stallions. He is also the sire of the winners of the Westphalian and Rhineland mare shows 2000, the victorious Federal family 2002 as well as of the Federal Riding Horse Champion "Fürst Fabio" and sire of various winners of their stallion performance test. Fidermark himself won dressage competitions up to Grand Prix-level.

Donnerhall
DONNERHALL – Sire of Donna Wenezia

Donnerhall 1981 Dressage stallion
Approved Oldenburg, Hanovarian, Westphalian, Holstein, Bavarian, Baden-Wurttemberg, Hessen, KWPN, Danish Warmblood
Donnerhall is the most successful dressage horse in the world and looks back on an exemplary career. He managed like no other sire of his generation to combine success in breeding and in sport alike. It is nearly impossible to provide a complete survey of Donnerhall's breeding record here, as it would necessitate the writing of a separate book. In Germany alone he has produced over 50 approved stallion sonsand more than 35 State Premium Mares.

When a colt by Donnerwetter out of Ninette by Markus-Carnot was born at Otto Gärtner's stud farm in Wenstein, Holstein on the 30th of May 1981, no-one could have imagined that the dark chestnut who was later christened Donnerhall, would one day stage a triumphant march through the equestrian world like no stallion before him. What's more, no other stallion has ever come close to achieving what the chocolate coloured chestnut Donnerhall managed in such a convincing manner, namely, the symbiosis of the dual qualities of being a successful competition sports horse and on the other hand being a top grade breeding horse. It was undoubtedly an encounter determined by destiny, that Donnerhall grew up on the memorable Otto Schulte-Frohlinde's Grönwoldhof studfarm.

Donnerhall should be considered one of the best stallions of the later half of the 20th Century. He succeeded in bridging top performance results in the dressage arena with outstanding prepotency in the breeding shed. Shown successfully through the Grand Prix Special under Karin Rehbein whilst being trained by the late Herbert Rehbein.

At the stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf, Donnerhall achieved the second best result - vice-champion, unbeatable in rideability, with a score of 9.5. At the stallion licensing:

"1986 was a milestone, not only in Donnerhall's career, but also in the chronicles of the Oldenburg Horse Breeding Association. The DLG is held in Hanover. Traditionally the state stallions from Celle and Warendorf decide events there. The representatives of other breeding regions usually only have a minor role to play there. This seemed to be the case at first in 1986 too, when Hanover unleashed its "secret weapon" World Cup I, hoping that the chestnut would win the sought after trophy in the second round.

But then there was Donnerhall and he was really well-liked, especially by the audience, which celebrated him frenetically: Ingo Pape led the five-year old and he left quite a few kilometres behind that weekend. "The people just wanted him" remembers approvals commissioner Bernhard Huslage. And his colleague Folkers adds "There was a fantastic hullaballoo each time that Donnerhall entered the hall". It did not take long for the feeling of the audience to jump over to the jury, too. Whilst the German representatives tended to fault the top line of the stallion somewhat and constantly looked in the direction of World Cup I, there was no doubt about it for the Dutchman Van der Veen: The Oldenburger deserved the crown!"

At the 1998 federal championship in Warendorf as regards the pedigrees of the successful horses, more than 50 % of all the finalists of the three year old stallions carried Donnerhall's blood. A Donnerhall foal sold at the1995 43rd Elite Auction in Vechta for 130,000DM! Then in 1998 that sum was surpassed by a Donnerhall foal selling for 155,000DM!

Donnerhall won the team gold and Individual Bronze at the European Championships in 1998. At the World Riding Championships in Rome that year, Donnerhall was retired from

At the 1998 World Championships in Rome, Karin Rehbein and the meanwhile 17-year old stallion were once more part of the German gold medal team and gained an excellent fourth place in the individual rating. His sporting successes, substantiated by his life winnings of around DM 640,000 are no less significant than his importance as a hereditary transmitter.

His breeding tally includes 77 approved sons, while of the more than 450 registered mares, 84 were awarded the state premium, including the champion mares Primavera and Hallo. In excess of 300 progeny have moreover been registered as sports horses. Donnerhall's last public appearance under his rider Karin Rehbein at the gala evening of the 1998 Oldenburg approval, where children with lanterns formed a narrow passage through which Donnerhall strode magnificently, remains a warm and unforgettable memory. From that time onwards, he only fulfilled his duties as a sire at the Grönwohldhof, where his remarkable career had begun.

On the 14Th of January 2002, Donnerhall perished from acute intestinal toxicopathy. Donnerhall, who was already a legend during his own lifetime has passed away but his memory lingers on...
