See Princessa in �Our Horses� and Donnerhall & Prince Thatch xx in �Related Stallions�!

Drambuie�s dam St.Pr. Princessa is out of St.Pr. Walencia out of St.Pr. Shocolata. Shocolata is famous as one of the most successful mares within the Hanoverian Verband. She was, together with her daughters, prolific winners in Verden shows as well as outside the region. Shocolata and her daughters have repeatedly produced top dressage horses, particularly with the stallions Wenzel I and Akzent II. One grandson by Akzent II out of Wieneren was sold in 2000 for DM 1,600,000 to the USA. The later introduction of Prince Thatch xx to the bloodline is considered to be ideal for the breeding of the modern type of dressage horse.

Drambuie (stable name 'Dennis') was trained and ridden by the International Grand Prix rider Natalie Hobday in Germany from beginning 2005 until November 2006. 'Dennis' returned home to Bradstone Stud in November 2006 for me to ride him. "What is the point of having wonderful horses if you are unable to enjoy them?" However, I was unable to ride as much as intended and 'Dennis' was sold Spring 2007 to the Dennis family (how appropriate!) in Devon, England. The very talented young rider Holly Dennis has already been very successful competing Drambuie at dressage. They became South West British Area Novice 22 (open class) winner Oct 2007 and they won the BYRDS (British Young Rider Dressage Scheme) Novice 22 with 73.45% in April 2008. They were 3rd at the Regionals in restricted Elementary February 2009.

Drambuie ('Dennis') was sold May 2007 to Holly Dennis, Devon, England!
