Coming May 2024 is an exciting cross by Monterey (Morricone/Donnerhall/Diamond Hit) out of Darby Dulcilena (Nilena/Diamont/Burggraaf). The dam, Darby Dulcilena, was Premium Foal as well as Foal of Distinction at her GOV inspection and all her foals have been named Premium Foal at their own GOV inspection. Her dam sire Diamont ranked 1st among Hanoverian stallions and 2nd among all breed stallions in producing dressage horses by the USDF.

The sire, Monterey, was named Premium Stallion at his 2018 Oldenburg inspection. He comes from many successful lines including his sire, Morricone, who was named Oldenburg Champion Stallion in 2014, and his dam sire, the trademark Sir Donnerhall I. Monterey is known for his amazing gaits and rideability.

Darby's foals have all taken her calm and confident temperament. Her 2022 foal (by Dheputy) is already showing excellent gaits and great potential for her future in dressage. We are expecting a similar outcome for this cross.
