Dancing Queen (DE 431 310824501)
(Donnerhall � Pik Bube I � Hitchcock)
Dark Hanoverian (Verband Hannoverscher) dark brown filly, 158cm /15.3hh, born July
2001
Breeder:
Bradstone Stud |
 |
Q is out of our Palma Campina (see �Our Horses�). A full sister
born 1998 was sold to the
USA. One younger sister and brother are still at Bradstone Stud and they
are both outstanding individuals. For sire and dam-lines, please see
Donnerhall and Pik Bube I in �Related Stallions�. The breeding
combination of these sires is exceptional and it is hard to find a
broodmare producing better dressage prospects than Palma Campina! |

(July 2004) |
Q can simply be described as �the most wonderful filly�! Everyone seeing
her is duly impressed. Dancing Queen is such an appropriate name,
she simply has no faults, she is beautiful and has three wonderful
paces! If you are looking for a small horse , riding big, you will
not find a better Grand Prix prospect anywhere! |
Q is
very positive and obedient and is doing exceptionally well in training &
competed in novice classes for young horses in Germany during 2005.
She has started (March 2006) doing walk pirouettes, shoulder-in, travers, half pass
in trot, counter canter and and single flying changes and is
being �held back� in training as it is far too easy to forget her tender age.
Dancing Queen has a super "rideablility", incredible temperament and a fantastic
learning capacity. She was placed 2nd in two elementary competitions in
Germany during July 2006. |

Q is
trained and ridden by the long established International Grand Prix rider
Natalie Hobday (at Jonny Hilberath barn),
Germany since late 2004. Natalie�s ability to produce horses
correctly prepared for and competing at the top level is 2nd to none. The horses
are not �pushed�, everything has to take its time working naturally forward,
carrying themselves with diligence and active hind quarters, maintaining rhythm,
suppleness and impulsion. Extensions are done when the horses are ready to do
them correctly. There are no exceptions.

We
do look for good and correct paces as youngsters and Q�s three paces are
certainly correct but were always extremely good. It is a bold statement to make
but you will not find a more suitable horse for dressage, correctly ridden and
trained anywhere!
Dancing Queen was sold in September 2006 to one of the best young dressage
riders in South Africa.
Dancing Queen is (SANEF) Junior Novice Champion of South Africa 2007.
