1ra Madre : DORETTE

from Dorettes offspring there are more than 20 stallions approved for stud-duty in the various European studbooks.

The influential progenitors Farn (Fax I) and Roman (Ramzes x) are both direct sons of Dorette. In the early sixties, in connection with a re-adjusted breeding program, all sons of Fax I (Fanatiker) in Holstein were sold to the Netherlands, retrospectively seen, a great fortune for the Dutch sports horses breeding. Farn has a tremendous impact in the Netherlands through the widespread sire line of his son Nimmerdor. We can also find Farn back countless times in dam�€�s lines of international sports horses and licensed stallions. World-famous show jumping-horses like Pierrot, Mr. Ecke, Just Malone, Renville, Queen of Diamonds, Renata la Silla, Maybe Forever and Fighting Alpha are all bred out of a Farn mother.

Dorette�€�s second son Roman was condemned as a stud horse based on the products out of his first production. Roman was described as a stallion with rideability problems. Especially the direct Roman sons needed strong and sensitive riders.

Besides Farn and Roman, Dorette also produced two influential daughters: Adrette (Heilbutt) and Ella (Colt). Adrette we know, among others, as the dam of Ronald (Ramiro Z) and as grandam of Lagos (Ladykiller xx x Moltke I). Two stallions who, following Farn, served stud-duty in both Holstein and the Netherlands. Dorettes daughter Ella is registered as dam of the stallions Constant (Cor de la Bryère) and Tarento (Tumbled xx). Tarento was sold immediately after his approval to Hungary where he served breeding under the name Toborzo I. In the �€�Breeding guide�€� Toborzo I is noted with four descendants, which perform at Grand-Prix�€�level in show jumping. The stallion Constant, who himself jumped at S-level under Hans Günter Winkler and Michael Rüping, had the ability of excellent jumping-capacities with an exceptional foreleg technique. Because of his chestnut colour Constant was not popular among the Holstein breeders, which resulted in a limited amount of services.
