EM/ SPA DORFBLUME "DORF"

Davignon-Matcho AA-Garibaldi

I found this stunning mare while on a buying trip to Germany. She was 3 years old, very quiet and reserved. The riding school was about 3/4 mile down the road so Mr. Boesch tacked up the mare, hopped on his old bicycle and off he went with her trotting along side. She remained quiet even as drivers whizzed by at German driving speed. Her riding trainer explained to us that she had only been under saddle one month in preparation for her Mare Performance Test (MPT). As she started to work under saddle she showed her perfect walk, very correct trot, and fantastic fluid canter. This was the mare I was looking to start my small breeding program having all the qualities of a true "foundation" mare.

Dorfblume completed her MPT in Germany with a phenomenal final score of 7.72. Individual scores for gaits were walk 10, trot 7, canter 9. At her Inspection she received 8's on type, quality, head, neck and frame. As a 2 year old she placed second at the Mare Show in Elmlohe and garnered her 1a prize (champion) as a 3 year old at the highly competetive Mare Show in Dobrock, Germany. She received her Elite Mare status when she had her first foal in 2001 here in the US.

EM/ SPA Dorfblume's sire Davignon is by the legendary Donnerhall. Davignon has produced many FEI level horses and states premium and elite mares. He is generally considered one of Donnerhall's greatest sons being the 1992 winner of the Bundeschampionat. For more information on Davignon click on his picture at the bottom of this page. Donnerhall of course needs no introduction. His accomplishments are too many to list here as he not only excelled in the breeding shed producing more than 77 approved sons and 84 states premuim mares, but also in sport under Karin Rehbein winning more than 65 FEI level competitions.

Dorfblume's dam SPS Marschfee was the 1991 winner of the Louis-Wiegels-Show in Germany. In 1990 Marschfee completed her MPT with a final score of 8.17 and was winner of the suitability class. She is sired by Matcho AA a great refining stallion owned by the Celle State Stud. SPS Marschfee has produced only states premium daughters and licensed sons including Di Versace and another that was sold to Belgium.

Dorfblume's full sister, SPS Dorfee, has had multiple breeding successes. Her 2005 colt by Hilltop Rousseau placed 9th at this years German Hanoverian Foal Championships, her 2004 filly by Weltissimo won the mature class at the Ingo Pape Show, and her 2002 colt by Rotspon, named Rubiano, is a licensed stallion in the process of completing his 70-day test in Germany. Rubiano is owned by Barbara Schmidt, DVM of Bridlewood Farm in Kentucky and is standing at Hengestation Meyer in Germany. More information on Rubiano can be seen at http://www.bridlewoodhanoverians.com under "Horses in Germany".

Dorfblume's full brother Di Versace is a licensed stallion standing in Germany. Dorfblume's 3/4 brother Del Piero, was the 1998 champion and 1999 vice champion of the Bundeschampionat. Del Piero's dam SPS Mascha is the full sister to Dorfblume's dam SPS Marschfee and his sire is also Davignon.

In 2001 Dorfblume had her first foal, a black filly by Rotspon. I named her Roseblume and she is currently going very well under saddle. She completed her MPT this October 2005 and received her Elite Mare Candidacy. The winter of 05/06 she competed in the FEI 5 year old classes in Wellington, FL. She did quite well against some stiff competition..

EM/SPA Dorfblume is due February 2009 with a foal by Rousseau. This foal should prove to be an amazing dressage prospect as is for sale in-utero.
