A wonderful dressage partner in the making. He has the gaits and rideability for the FEI ring!

Games has been a peach to handle, break and is a blast to ride. Games and Class were purchased by me and had a complete pre-purchase exam at that time, with clean radiographs. 

Games' sire Welfenkoenig II was licensed in Verden in 2005 and went on to complete the 11 month performance testing in 2006 with Celle’s group of young stallions (a tremendous honor for a privately owned stallion). He was 4th overall (125.80), 3rd in the dressage (125.04), and 11th in the jumping portion (114.58). He received 8’s almost across the board with particular mention to his excellent rideablity, temperament and gaits. In addition he received a 9 for his ability on the cross country course. Welfenkönig II’s pedigree combines a very successful and well established breeding niche famous for producing high rideablity and extraordinarily good temperaments. Games' dam EM Donna Lady's pedigree combines the famous and very successful combination of the legendary Donnerhall (Donnerwetter/Markus) with that of Pik Bube I (Pik König/Frustra II). This cross is highly regarded in Germany and has produced many approved stallions (Dream of Glory, Davignon I and II, Don Schufro, Danny De Vito, Donatelli, Duntroon, Donnerbube I, and III and Dorano are all from the famous Donnerhall - Pik Bube I cross), top mares as well as extremely talented performance horses competing at the highest levels in dressage. Her maternal-line is equally impressive having produced Approved stallions one of which stood at the State Stud in Celle, numerous State Premium mares as well as horses competing successfully at the Grand Prix level in both jumping and dressage. The exceptional and highly decorated St.Pr. Windrose (Weltmeyer), who was awarded the prestigious title of Champion 3-year old mare in all of Germany, also descends from this dam-line. EM Donna Lady competed successfully in the mare shows in Germany winning her 1a prize each year she was shown. She was Champion of her mare show and was awarded the coveted "St.Pr." distinction in Germany prior to her importation to Canada. She obtained an overall score of 8 at her Studbook Inspection in Germany and then went on to complete her Mare Performance Test with an exceptionally high overall score of 8.22. Her scores include an 8 for walk, 9 for trot, 9 for canter, 9 for rideability and an 8 for jumping ability. Her total dressage index was an outstanding 8.67! After her Mare Performance Test, Donna Lady went on to compete successfully in dressage. This beautiful and elegant mare shows very good type and conformation along with powerful gaits and a gentle disposition. She has breathtaking movement and her athletic ability is exceptional.
