The last Donnerhall?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nostalgic BH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2002 hardly any foals have been born by the legendary top-class sire Donnerhall, yet Foal Auction Prinsjesdag managed to find one. Nostalgic BH is probably his last son and, in addition, he represents a powerful damline. His dam Unolita already produced the ZZ-advanced plus level dressage horse Bunolita. She is a\u00a0 mare from the line from which the successful breeder Huub van Helvoirt produced numerous celebrated horses, such as the approved stallions Ebony and All At Once and the Grand Prix horse Romanoff ridden by Vai Bruntink.
\nDonnerhall performed magnificently on the dressage arena. In the course of his life he recorded 65 FEI victories,\u00a0 and several times won Team Golds and individual medals in major championships. But his performance as a sire is even more impressive. Because without Donnerhall dressage breeding would have looked entirely different; as founder of the German D-line he produced an unparalleled number of influential sons and excellent Grand Prix dressage horses.<\/p>\n

Selling with a heavy heart<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breeder Jan Vink used ICSI to achieve gestation. In this process the ovum is injected with just a single sperm. \u201cI managed to get hold of a straw from Donnerhall and that is an opportunity you do not want to miss. Donnerhall is the best dressage horse producer ever. He is known to produce the best offspring with mares carrying some blood. And Unolita fits just right. She is a terribly good mare. Nostalgic BH does therefore have everything to receive his breeding licence one day.
\nAfter the sale of his pancake factory, Vink now devotes himself almost full time to his Studfarm Blackhorses. But he is selling this colt with a heavy heart: \u201cI am known for not easily selling my own products, but I have to gear down a little. I really have too many horses now and then you must sell a few. And if I do sell anything at an auction anyway, I want it to be a top-class colt!\u201d
\nBert Poppelaars, selection member of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag, was wildly enthusiastic when he got the chance to claim this colt for the auction. \u201cThis is not only one of the very last Donnerhalls, this colt also comes from an exceptionally good damline.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nostalgic BH will be auctioned on 12 September in the dressage horse sale of Foal Auction Prinsjesdag. www.prinsjesdag.eu<\/strong><\/p>\n
