Swedish Warmblood Stallion
(Homozygous black)

Donnermeyer is a multi-talented stallion. He has the movement for Dressage, and the strength & talent for jumping. His talents are not surprising, as his pedigree is World Class, containing the "Royal Three". A son of the multi-talented De Niro, who's foals continue to be top sellers at Germany's top auctions, and a grandson of two of the World's top producers of Dressage horses, Donnerhall & Weltmeyer. His dam's dam's line are also some of the best mares in Sweden, producing top jumpers, and Dressage horses. Donnermeyer's great-grandsire, Romadour II, is also Rubenstein's grandsire.
Donnermeyer's best trait is his beautiful mind. He is a very easy going stallion, who is regularly complimented for his sweet nature. He is gentle and kind, truly wants to please, and loves people. He is like a puppy-dog, filled with personality. He also passes this onto his offspring.
I don't know of another stallion owner who can say this; in the 13 years that Donnermeyer and I have been partners (since he was 6-months-old), he has never attempted to bite or kick me. That is saying a lot about who he is, and what he passes onto his offspring.
Donnermeyer also has an excellent breeding record, with an overall pregnancy success rate of 92%. His semen is very high quality, with high motility, and longevity. We have documented cases of 3 mares still conceiving after ovulating 3-4 days after last being inseminated (2 at 3 days & 1 at 4 days).

Donnermeyer was approved with the American Warmblood Society and the Rheinland-Phalz-Saar International, in 2002. Because of the exceptional quality of his foals, several have been accepted and registered with other registries, such as HOL (Holsteiner), OLD (Oldenburg), SWANA (Swedish), and BWP (Belgian Warmblood).

2012 Stud Fee: $850
(was $1000)
Because we're aware of how hard the economic times are now, we have decided to offer Donnermeyer's stud fee at a lower price. We hope this will allow people who want to breed their mares, to a top stallion, the opportunity to still be able to do so this season.
Check out our Testimonies page to see how others feel about breeding their mares to Donnermeyer.
Breed for your own Donnermeyer foal!
Donnermeyer is passing on his willing personality & intelligence, a beautiful head, a higher set, more rounded neck, a great shoulder angle, a strong hind-end, more substantial bone, and excellent movement that is equal to, or better than his (even out of average or worse moving mares).
Although Donnermeyer stands at 16 hands, he is genetically much taller; more like 16.3 to 17 hands. This means that it is like breeding to a stallion who stands 16.3 to 17 hands tall. It really doesn't matter his physical size when breeding, only his genetic size, as this is what he is contributing. He has foals as tall as 17.2, out of a 15.3 HH mare, 16.3 out of a 15.2 HH mare, and 16.3 out of a 16 HH mare. He does pass on size; both height and bone.
Donnermeyer is passing on many of the desirable traits of his famous sire, & grandsires, proving to be an improvement sire himself.
Between 2003 and 2005, the AWS inspected 15 Donnermeyer foals; 7 receiving scores between 75%-79.9% (only 14% of the horses inspected by the AWS receive this high a score), and 3 receiving scores between 80%-100% (only 4% of the horses receive this high a score), making Donnermeyer one of the AWS's top producing stallions, in only 2 years! He also has offspring (foals & grandchildren) registered, or approved for breeding, with several other registries such as Swedish, Holsteiner, Oldenburg, and Belgian Warmblood; all receiving high scores or premium designations.
As of 2009, his offspring are beginning to show and winning at both Dressage and Jumping.
Donnermeyer foals dominate the 2004 AWS Inspection, taking the top 5 placing's!

Donnermeyer's Story
Article in The Horse Magazine:
You choose - who is the best of the BIG 3 |
We use Stepp-N-out Farm's Equine Reproductive Services for all our collections.
Donnermeyer is now offered for sale
$35,000
(new lower price)
We are getting close to the age of retiring, but Donnermeyer still has many-many years left of breeding, so we've decided to try to find him a new home. We want him to be able to continue to produce winning offspring, but we'd like to slow our lives down, and have the freedom to travel. So, we've decided to close our breeding business, and part of that means selling our "cornerstone", Donnermeyer. We'd like him to continue to breed, and if the new owners want to show him, he can certainly go back into the show ring. He is easy to handle, both under saddle and with in-hand breeding, and lives right next to his mares and other geldings, with no problems. He is very intelligent and has a very willing personality, truly wanting to please. Most amazingly, he has never tried to bite or kick me (I'm not sure there is another stallion owner out there that can say that!). He is very healthy, having no health issues, and he has never been lame or coliced a day in his life. He's really the perfect stallion that even an adult amateur could own/handle.
For mare owners who want to breed to Donnermeyer:
We will continue to offer Donnermeyer's services, as well as our farm's support, during your breeding experience. All contracts will be honored, so please don't let Donnermeyer's potential sale stop you from breeding to him.
