In the breeding programs for Hanoverian show jumpers, dressage horses, and eventing horses, the *** indicate mares with exceptional competition-oriented genetic potential. They form the elite core of the Hanoverian breeding program.
St.Pr.St. Luci PHD*** (HVA 247, KÖR 60)
The pedigree of St.Pr.St. Luci*** by Lauries Crusador xx/Lemon Tree (breeder Peter von Borstel, Krummendeich) features an exceptionally high percentage of Thoroughbred blood. The proven thoroughbreds Lauries Crusador xx, Lemon xx, and Waidmannsdank xx contribute nearly 70% to this in the first three generations. Built upon a solid Hanoverian foundation, this forms the basis of the hereditary potential of this exceptional mare, bred by Jochen Meyer of Allwörden.
Four offspring of Diamond Hit have reached the highest level of dressage at the S-class. Leading the way is Dwayn, born in 2012, who celebrated international Grand Prix successes with Ferdinand Csaki. His full brother Diamond Rosso, who is two years older, reached this level under the Argentine rider Micaela Mabragana in the U.S.
Danzador left the 2013 licensing as a premium stallion and moved to the Böckmann stud in Lastrup, Oldenburg. He was a finalist in the 2015 Hanoverian Riding Horse Championship, qualified multiple times for the Bundeschampionat, and then proved himself as a young rider’s horse under Renee Stadler, competing all the way up to Nations Cups. The youngest of the four brothers is Diadorado. He turned nine in 2026 and is celebrating his first S*-level successes. We will continue to follow his career.
With Dönhoff, also by Diamond Hit, St.Pr.St. Luci*** produced another licensed stallion, and with start number 60, she is now sending a son of Viva Gold to the Verden licensing. Like Diamond Hit, we find Grand Prix-proven genetics on the sire’s side here as well.
