DANUBE

Danube out of Orthella by Othello Marlon by Lesanto was a premium foal born in 1989 and took the highest scoring foal at her AHHA keuring.  As a four-year old, she was bonited and scored 46 points out of 50 as a premium mare, one of the top scores in the U.S.  Since AHHA changed the scoring system, she would now be a premium mare select, the same as her daughter Trinity-Lael.

This mare has the whole package—quiet disposition; willingness to please; quick to learn; large, steady gaits—won many three-day events in her younger days with dressage scores in the 70’s, the ability to jump with no stops, and the forward, steady “go” on the cross country course.  She now provides bomb-proof rides for the grandchildren as seen in our photo gallery. 

When campaigned in 2004 with Remaliah and Trinity-Lael for our breeding program, Danube earned the Cosequin/USDF Breeder’s Championship for Yeld Mares Ages 4 and Older (15 years old at the time) as well as the Arizona Dressage Mature horse Championship and the ADA Reserve Grand Championship, second only to her own daughter Trinity-Lael.
