Damsey is proving to be a most exceptional dressage stallion. His walk and his huge trot catch the eye of any serious dressage rider or judge. His bloodlines include the Who's Who of Hanoverian pedigrees--- Donnerhall, Rubinstein, Ritual/Ramiro and Grande. His materal lines includes many state's premium mares as well.

Damsey was licensed Hanoverian in 2005 and went through his 70 day testing until the final week of the testing when he came down with a fever and his previous owner decided not to have him continue sick nor take the average for the testing due to his magnificnet score so far. We applaud this previous owner for his concern putting the stallion first. We then were very lucky to have found him and bought him in December of 2005 and brought him the Hengststation Meyer to be a stall mate of His Highness!
We began his training in dressage and found him very talented! More than we would have imagined with him consistently scoring extremely well in compettions...his walk being his highlight with consistent 9.5's!

Damsey's sire, Dressage Royal, comes from the famous Oldenburg performance line of Fasse III. Immediately following his successful tests for young riding and dressage horses, he placed at the Bundeschampionat in the class for five year old dressage horses in 2003. A son from his very first crop, Damsey, was licensed and in the following year he was the sire of a premium stallion named Doringcourt/Leonie Bramall/CAN. The dam, Ria Grande, also produced Damsey's half-sister called Daianira van de Helle (by Dream of Glory), who placed in 2004 as well as 2005 under Vicky Smits/BEL at the World Chaùmpionships for Young Dressage Horses in Verden.

Dam's sire, Ritual, supplied top horses for all disciplines in riding. The amount of prize money won in 2006 by his off-spring such as the WC jumper, Resonanz/Vladimir Beletskiy/RUS as well as Rainy Day/Alois Pollmann-Schweckhorst, Ramadan Z/Eduardo Netto de Almeida/POR and Rubia/Axel Milkau surpassed the 390,000 Euro mark. Ritual sired 14 licensed sons, including Rudelsburg, the sire of the 2005 German Champion in show jumping, Rulanda/Imke Harms.
