Donnerschlag (1987 dark brown 16.2 Oldenburg Stallion)

For many years, Donnerschlag was the top sire of Gestut St. Ludwig's stud of Germany, where he left a distinctive mark on an era of breeding. His sire, Donnerhall, was a stallion of legendary proportion. Pirola, his dam, was a full sister to the famous Pik Bube I. Donnerschlag has produced numerous approved sons, including Dream of Heidelberg, Donnerwind, Donnerluck, Donnerfurst, Diamond Dancer and Donnergold. Donnerschlag was imported in 2000 and strands at Fairwind Farm in Santa Rosa, California. In the United States, he is approved by the North American division of the Oldenburg Verband and by the American Hanoverian Society.

Donnerschlag is listed on page 57 of the Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society 2004 Stallion Directory who offer the following recommendation:

"This magnificent stallion has multiple offspring competing very successfully in FEI level dressage. The U.S. breeders who have bred to Donnerschlag since his arrival in this country have been extraordinarily pleased with their foals and with Fairwind Farm's service.

One of Donnerschlag's sons, Dolomit, is making news in the FEI arena:

"I am currently showing Dolomit at Prix St Georges and he is easily learning piaffe and passage. He is a remarkable horse with an unbelievable work ethic, as well as spectacular looking with his father and grandfather’s beautiful neck."
                    Liz Trudeau, speaking about her 7 year old Donnerschlag son
