Another really tough one. One of our best stallion prospects. Donny was euthanized in late May after developing neurological symptoms. Two sets of tests for West Nile and EPM were both negative so we can only assume it was Wobblers although he was not the typical fast-growing, long neck type that it often strikes.
Black imported Hanoverian colt by Don Frederico (Donnerhall/Consul) who won his Stallion performance test with the amazing score of 151.67 points in Dressage! His Dam St.Pr. Scarlett (Sherlock Holmes / Weltmeyer) is a high scoring mare, from a very well thought of mare line of all St. Pr. mares. Dr. Christmann recommended this colt as a potential stallion prospect. Don Giovanni was Reserve Champion at the European foal championships held in the Hanover region.
