Don Dante Black Hanoverian Stallion

Standing 16.2 hh with 9.5 inches of bone, Don Dante is a superb mover with an exceptional temperament and consistently successful international level dressage competition record.

He is already producing easy to ride stock of first-rate quality. Don Dante’s first foals, born in 2014, show great promise, having inherited his expressive movement, good temperament and confidence.

Other lines we have available include Dancier (Dante’s sire), Sandro Hit, Rubinstein, De Niro, Weltmeyer, Florestan 1, Pik Bube, Donnerhall, Millennium.

Don Dante Breeding

Don Dante’s Sire, Dancier, has an incredible pedigree filled with top Stallions such as De Niro, Donnerhall, Lancier and Espri. Champion of the 2005 Stallion Testing, Dancier attained a perfect 10 for his trot.

Dancier was third in the Bundeschampionate at 4 years. In 2011, a two year old son of Dancier sold at auction for 315,000 Euros.

Don Dante’s dam, Sabrina, is a State Premium mare by Salvano, grandsire of the famous Salinero. Her pedigree also includes Matrose, the grandsire of Millennium.
