St.Pr.St. Dorina was named the Hanoverian Mare of the Year. Born in 2002 at Günther Lindwehr’s farm in Alfhausen, the bay mare impresses not only with her own riding horse qualities, but above all with her outstanding offspring and grand offspring.
St.Pr.St. Dorina by De Niro/Weltmeyer/Bolero was born at Günther Lindwehr’s farm in Alfhausen in 2002. She is still at home at the Lindwehr farm today. Last year, in her 17th breeding year, she gave birth to her 17th and last foal. The successful bay mare, together with her Fürstenball daughters Fürstenfee and Hann.Pr.St. Franziska L, formed the winning family in Badbergen. Han.Pr.St. Franziska L, in turn, presented an elite family at the 2024 mare show with two daughters by F-D’avie and Vitalis. The Vitalis daughter was none other than Han.Pr.A. Ext+ Vision L, Champion mare at the Herwart von der Decken show and 2024 Bundeschampionat finalist. Even before she was used for breeding, St.Pr.St. Dorina demonstrated her dressage horse qualities in competition. With Stefan Kleine-Klanker, she was victorious in riding horse and dressage horse tests.
This brings us to the heart of the success story of her offspring and grand offspring. The absolute highlight of her direct offspring is Facilone FRH by Fürstenball. As a four-year-old Hanoverian riding horse champion, he was a finalist at the Bundeschampionat with Bianca Nowag-Aulenbrock. At the age of five, he represented Hanover’s colours with Austrian rider Stephanie Dearing at the FEI WBFSH Dressage World Breeding Championships Ermelo/NED. Marcus Hermes trained him up to Grand Prix level, and Helen Langehanenberg celebrated international successes with him in Falsterbo/SWE and Budapest/HUN. Facilone FRH is currently winning Grand Prix competitions with the young Nicola Ahorner. For Sure by Finest is the second Grand Prix horse out of St.Pr.St. Dorina. His career began at the stallion sales in Verden, which he left as a premium stallion bound for Denmark to Helgstrand Dressage. The Portuguese Francisco Vila Nova trained him up to Grand Prix level. Facilone FRH and For Sure ensured that their dam St.Pr.St. Dorina was awarded three stars in the Hanoverian Dressage Horse Breeding Program. St.Pr.St. Dorina’s son Visionaer by Vilancio is nine years old and competing at Prix Saint-Georges level in the USA. Her six-year-old son Vincenzo by Vitalis is pursuing a career in Denmark.
The first filly out of St.Pr.St. Dorina is St.Pr.St. Farina by Fidertanz. She is also already a three-star mare in the Hanoverian Dressage Horse Breeding Program and, among other things, the dam of the Celle state stud stallion Rock Springs by Rock Forever, who is highly placed up to Inter I with Natascha Katharina Krieger. His half-brother Roccolino by Rocco Granata achieved his first Prix Saint-Georges placing in 2024.
The Hanoverian Mare of the Year 2025 is a state premium mare with high fertility who has proven her own riding horse qualities in competition, whose offspring have reached the highest levels in dressage, and whose daughters are already impressively confirming their hereditary potential. St.Pr.St. Dorina has the best Hanoverian genetics and is therefore one of the jewels in the crown of Hanoverian dressage horse breeding.
