Derano
Hanoverian, * 2005, chestnut gelding
by De Niro - Warkant - Akzent II
Breeder: Rudolf Quast, Jork
Owner: Gestüt Peterhof, Perl-Borg
Derano was a horse with remarkable dispositions. He also had aura and demeanor, which he impressively demonstrated with his series of victories in 2013 in St. Georges dressage up to second place in the final of the Nuremberg Burg Cup. At the same time, he had little show experience, as he had only been shown in public a few times up to that point. In the test he went very concentrated. He was not spooky, he did tense up, but always stayed nicely with me. Only in the award ceremonies could he have shifted down a gear.

Diva Royal
Hanoverian, * 2002, bay black mare
by Don Frederico - Donnerhall - Consul
Breeder: Heinz Braul, Lehrte
Owner: Katharina Roth, Alsbach-Hähnlein
When Diva Royal came to me in autumn 2009, she had already been successful with the young Tom Berg at the Bundeschampionat for dressage horses and at the Prize of the Best. We grew together in a very short time and came fourth in the Burg Pokal final in Frankfurt. With Stella Charlott Roth, Diva Royal collected further successes up to team gold at the Youth European Championship 2011 as well as fourth and sixth place in the European Championship individual ranking. In 2011, Diva Royal's collection of titles also includes overall victory in the Tesch Inkasso Cup for young Grand Prix horses.
In the summer of 2012, everything happened very quickly. After fourth and fifth place at the German Championships in Balve, we were in the running for Aachen, where I probably put in the freestyle ride of my life. And it got even better: We were allowed to go to London/GBR for the Olympic Games. A dream came true: representing Germany at the Olympic Games ... Diva Royal danced in the Grand Prix and in the Special. And I just enjoyed it. In the freestyle there was a bit of sadness mixed in that, as agreed, our career together would end after this performance. After all, Diva Royal had been made available to me by the Roth family, but was then to go back to chasing ribbons with Stella Charlott Roth. And the pair did so most impressively, winning the Piaff-Förderpreis and the Otto Lörke Prize for the best young Grand Prix horse.
​
Diva Royal descends from the Donnerhall son Don Frederico, who himself was named Hanoverian Stallion of the Year in 2012. The Celle state stud also sired Isabell Werth's successful horse Don Johnson FRH. The dam Weronika produced other dressage horses from various pairings which, like Diva Royal at the time, were sold at the Verden auction. Weronika is a full sister to St.Pr.St. Wanja, who produced the licensed Robespierre (by Rosentau). The Hanoverian stables of Nandura also produce the licensed stallions Sir Schölling and Call Me Paul as well as the Grand Prix dressage horse Sir Sherlock/Catherine Haddad/USA.

Dynamico
Hanoverian, * 1998, bay gelding
by Don Primero - Weltmeyer - novice
Breeder: ZG Katja and Manfred Bräuer, Meppen
Owner: Manfred Bräuer, Heppenheim
Dynamico rolled up the field from behind at the 2003 Bundeschampionat. With second place in the small final, he made it into the final of the five-year-old dressage horses, in which he secured the title with a score of 9.0. By the way, Kaiserkult TSF was fifth - and won the title the following year. But back to Dynamico, my first Bundeschampion. He was extremely rideable and always ideal in the contact.
Dynamico was only with me in 2003. The son of Don Primero collected his first successes in riding horse and dressage horse tests under Manfred Bräuer. Dynamico then continued his career with the young Bianca Helmling, among others, who made it into the Grand Prix class with him.
With the half-brother of Dynamico, Dopacca (by Donnerschlag), I finished fifth in the 2004 Bundeschampionat finals for five-year-olds.

In 2016, when he was eight-years-old, Faustus moved to my stable. At the same time he was bought from the Stud Fohlenhof by his current owner Prof. Dr. med. Bernd Heicke. Dirk Linden had discovered and trained Faustus as a youngster. The two had competed in young horse, St. Georges and in a S9-test before.
​
Faustus and me, we completed our first show season 2017 more than successfully. So we won the Inter II in Ankum and were afterwards unbeatable in the Inter II and in the short Grand Prix in Zeutern. Together with his considerable height Faustus just owns all the attributes as aura and talent for the grand tour. As annual highlight, we took a great second place in the final of the Louisdor Prize.

Faustus
In 2018, he placed second in the Grand Prix and fourth in his first Grand Prix Special in Münster. The first international Special victory was celebrated in Mannheim, followed by further top placings, nationally and internationally.
In 2019 Faustus was called up to the Olympic squad and in 2020 secured his first championship medals by winning DM double bronze in the Special and Freestyle.
In 2021, Faustus was part of the German European Championships gold team in Hagen a.T.W. Previously, he was nominated as my Olympic reserve horse for Tokyo/JPN, after setting a new personal best in the Kronberg sighting freestyle (82.370 percent).
In 2022 came victories and placings in the Grand Prix and World Cup tours in Munich, Donaueschingen, Aarhus/DEN, Stuttgart and Frankfurt.
Faustus can point to very successful relatives. He descends from Falsterbo, who recorded Grand Prix successes with Jonny Hilberath and moved to the USA in 2012.
His dam Flocke also produced the Don Frederico son Del Corazon, who achieved placings up to Inter II with me.
The Thoroughbred dam's sire Forrest xx sired Karen Tebar's championship horse Falada M, among others.
The granddam Wachtel produced the advanced (S) level show jumper Frenchy (by Foxhunter).
The great-granddam Grandessa, herself successful in elementary (L) level show jumping, became dam of the advanced (S) level dressage horse Sultano (by Spitzweg). Her daughter Mien Droom (by Monaco) produced the Celle state stud stallion For Feeling (by For Pleasure).
