UPDATE: Due in two short months.

This foal should be an incredible mover with a super amateur friendly disposition. With a liver chestnut Sire as dark as Dannebrog, we can’t help but hoping for a really dark palomino.

Dannebrog (Don Schufro x Brentano II) is an exciting new sire for the North American market, direct from Celle. Standing 16.2hh he is dark liver chestnut, with three white socks. Sired by the legendary dressage stallion, Don Schufro (Donnerhall x Pik Bube I) and out of the outstanding dam St.Pr. Byzantina (Brentano II x Arogno) this dark, liver chestnut stallion offers highly proven and successful bloodlines. Dannebrog completed his 300 Day Stallion Performance Test at Adelheidsdorf in 2010 with fantastic scores, finishing 3rd overall in Dressage with an impressive index of 135.74. His individual scores highlight his fantastic mind and overall high quality; Walk 9, Trot 9, Character 9, Rideability 9, Canter 8, Temperament 8, Willingness to Work 8 and Constitution 8. His test rider marks were equally exciting; Walk 8.33, Trot 9, Canter 8.33, Rideability 8.5 and Jumping Course Canter 8. This rigorous 300 Day testing highlighted his extraordinary character, his fantastic rideability and his three supple and elastic gaits. His foals bear his trademark friendly disposition and possess his high-quality movement. Dannebrog has produced two licensed sons, the ZDPF Premium Hengst Donaldson (Dannebrog x Worldly) and the Hanoverian licensed De Brunye (Dannebrog x Fabriano) son along with multiple State Premium daughters. Dannebrog brings exciting new European bloodlines to North America. The 'Dannebrog' is the name of the Danish National flag!

Dannebrog’s sire Don Schufro sits at the very pinnacle of breeding and sport. He was champion of his stallion performance test with a 154.93 dressage index, won an Olympic Bronze team medal in 2008 at Beijing, sits in 9th position in the Rolex WBFSH Top 10 Dressage Sire Rankings and his young daughter Weihegold placed 4th individually at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

In 2016 Dannebrog’s full sister Diva Dannebrog produced the Westphalian Stallion Licensing Reserve Champion, Premium Hengst Zoom by Zack.
