The Horse Watermark Farm is the exclusive agent in North America for Dressage Royal. Our thanks go out to Dorit and Hermann Kothe for allowing us to have access and in turn offer this fantastic stallion to discriminating breeders in North America. Dressage Royal distinguishes himself not only because of his excellent conformation, his unimpeachable character and his fantastic pedigree, but also through his own performances: high rideability, his basic gaits and his show jumping skills are of exquisite quality. This was confirmed by the testing committee and the test rider. His rideability for dressage was judged with 8.21 points, his show jumping qualities with a straight 8.00 during his stallion testing. Dressage Royal is fully trained to the Grand Prix level and has tournament success in Germany as a young horse. FN Studbook Rankings

Ancestors His Heritage Dressage Royal’s sire is the great dressage stallion, Donnerhall. Donnerhall won the team gold medal and the individual bronze medal during World Championships in Den Haag in 1994, along with achieving many other notable sporting titles throughout his illustrious competition career. Donnerhall is one of the most important stallions worldwide, passing his above-average dressage qualities and cooperative nature on to his offspring. His impact on the dressage horse breeding industry will be felt for many generations as he was extremely prepotent for an amiable temperament combined with an international quality mind.
Dressage Royal’s damsire, the legendary Rubinstein I, also had an exceptional influence on the European dressage breeding and advanced level dressage sport for more than a decade and also left his invaluable genes for the future through his many approved sons and outstanding daughters.
The maternal granddam is also a stallion of note: Futuro by Furioso II who revolutionized sport horse breeding permanently in the 1960’s and 70’s. The great-grandsire is also an important figure in both breeding and sport – Magister, who was the undisputed winner of the Trakhener Stallion Licensing in 1965. Dressage Royal’s damline has produced other successful sport horses – Firmament by Futuro (stallion in Belgium); winner of Oldenburg stallion licensing, Take me by Titus (total lifetime winnings DM 8.370,00); advanced level dressage horse, Bille Bong by Blue Grenadier xx (medium dressage level, total winnings DM 4.908,00); Framero by Freiherr (medium show jumping level, total winnings DM 7.290,00). 2011 Update: Desperado OLD (age 8)won the PSG for young horses at Verden under his new owner and rider Carola Koppelman. There were several very famous and accomplished horse and rider combinations in their class, so it a lovely acheivement to have him back in the arena at such a high level. A full write up with lovely photographs can be found HERE. Also participating in that same division was the licensed stallion son Damsey (age 9). He is also mentioned in the Eurodressage article along with several photographs. Our own Don William WF was recently observed by an international rider and complimented on his power, elasticity and demeanor. It was their opinion that he is a horse for the uppermost level of competition. So with great excitement we at Watermark Farm are looking forward to what the future holds with our Dressage Royal offspring that are coming along so nicely. 2012 Update: Our Dressage Royal crop of 2008 and 2009 is developing nicely. Dream Girl WF and Dreamcatcher WF are beginning their undersaddle training. They are proving to be quick learners, highly intelligent and extremely gifted as FEI prospects. Dolce Elise WF and Drummond WF continue to grow and develop in a positive manner with bright futures ahead. Over in Germany Damsey and Desperado OLD competed in the Louisdor Prize in the CDN in Frankfurt (12/12) with good scores. They are both confirmed Grand Prix horses. UNO Don Diego competed Intermediare II successfully in Denmark prior to being sold to Iron Spring Farm here in the US. Doringcourt won the FEI World Challenge in New Zealand again with very good scores. There are some lovely photographs from LL-Foto.de HERE of the Louisdor Prize Finals. Enjoy!
