Desiderius was born a dark bay, but turned black-liver, like most of the Donnermeyer foals. He loves people, running around and giving hugs and kisses. He stood 11 hands at 3 weeks, and is easy to handle, standing well to be trimmed, wormed and blanketed.

This pic was taken with a cell phone, during one of his first training sessions in April, 2007.
Here, it is easier to see his conformation and color, during a training session, May of 2007.
