​
This mare has super elastic gaits and larger than life personality! She was destined for the dressage ring but unfortunately suffered a pasture accident as a three year old. She has a character that is impossible not to fall in love with. Hugs from her humans is one of her favourite things and is always first to greet us in the pasture. She shows boundless energy and can rival any stallion for presence - despite her smaller size she somehow seems bigger than all the other horses, and is the undisputed queen of the farm. 

​Daisy has three quality gaits: nice big panther like walk, excellent back and hock mechanics in trot, and ample strength and agility in canter. In her foals she stamps brave, intelligent, and curious character, elastic powerful gaits with natural affinity for collection, and incredible good looks. Despite being small herself all her foals are quite tall, all being close to the height of their sires.

Heritage

Daisy's dam, Larissa, was imported from Germany as a youngster and still competes in dressage at 4th level the age of 21 years old with her owner Tamsyn Kouwenburg. Larissa boasts a strong damline with both her dam and grand-dam producing licensed Westfalen stallions, most notably the influential stallion, Anmarsch, as well as competitive show jumpers. Larissa is by Loredo who was a high quality son of the great Holsteiner stallion Lord, who produced top class jumping and dressage horses as well as many successful sires. Larissa also boosts a strong mareline with her dam, Porta Westfalica, and granddam, Flocke, producing several licensed sons, grandsons, and even great grandsons, such as Lord Leatherdale. 

​Daisy's sire, Donarweiss, was champion of his 30 day test with an overall score of 8.33. He showed his versatility with individual scores of 9 for rideability and jumping technique. Donarweiss has successfully competed at Grand Prix for over nine years with his young rider Genay Vaughn. His sweet character, athleticism, trainability and incredible looks are attributes that he passes down to his offspring.
​
Donarweiss’s sire, De Niro, was reserve champion of his performance test with 141.93. De Niro had a wonderful sport career with over 24 wins at S- level and had sired 108 State Premium mares, 25 Approved sons, and numerous FEI competitors earning him the top spot on the WBFSH Dressage Sire Ranking List in 2013 and 2015-2018. Donarweiss’s Damsire, Hohenstein, was Reserve Champion of his Stallion Performance Test and has been a very influential dressage sire. Further back in Donarweiss’s pedigree we find Archipel, a son of 1994 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year Argentan, which brings additional scope and jumping ability.
