DonBubano's full sister Donatha S is a very successful International Grand Prix horse for Ellen Schulten-Baumer.

Bradstone Stud purchased DonBubano as a foal from the breeder. He was placed 1st and graded at the Hanoverian provisional stallion licensing at Addington, UK in September 1999 (ridden by Wiebke Borchers): "Exceptional walk, wonderful elevated & rounded working trot with a natural extension when asked, very good canter".

DonBubano has a wonderful temperament. He made a huge impact at Addington after only 80 days training under saddle.

June 2010

DonBubano was given a year off after Addington to develop. A decision was taken not to participate in the 100 day stallion performance test and after a short period at Gronwohldhof , DonBubano was sent to Natalie Hobday & Jonny Hilberath, Germany in 2001 where he remains in training.

Bube is doing extremely well. He is an Advanced 'S' winner in Germany, achieved 70% scores on the International Small Tour in PSG & Intermediarie I in Germany and Holland, is placed in GP in Germany and is now fully trained to a higher Grand Prix level.

DonBubano made his debut in advanced competitions in Intermediarie I at CDI Wiesbaden 2005 with a 3rd place and was placed 5th in his Grand Prix debut July 2010. Bube is ridden/trained daily by Jonny Hilberath since January 2010.

Jonny is very satisfied with Bube now being fully established in his Grand Prix movements i.e. a '7' at least on all movements. "Bube is a fantastically elastic & talented & likeable "small big horse"!

DonBubano is being sold due to owner's circumstances and as Jonny nowadays no longer compete due to his other commitments!

June 2010

Don Bubano's dam-line has produced numerous top-of-the-range horses for dressage and his sire-line can hardly be improved anywhere. The combination of Donnerhall-Pik Bube I-Der Loewe xx is without any doubt one of the most sought after breeding lines in the world of dressage.
