Sold Duchesse by Donavan, DOB. 4/07. out of Caviar, our Premium Oldenburg mare by Cor Noir. Duchesse is a gorgeous long legged filly. She is absolutely lovely, and her movement is very expressive. She has a free shoulder and her hock action is very dynamic. Her full brother , Don Noir, below , was top foal at his inspection in 2006.-earned 8.2.
Duchesse earned a whopping 8.4 for her Premium award at her inspection! The German head of Breeding stated Why go to Germany when you can find a filly like this right here." To sell her will be hard as we are selecting fillies for Rosall, our new stallion, and for preserving the Donavan line through his daughters.
