DONAVAN was born in 1985, in Germany and brought to the US as a coming 3 year old. He completed the very rigorous 100 Day Testing for Stallion Licensing in 1988, receiving a very high score of 136.16 , for the Reserve Champion honors competing with 18 other stallions. His marks included 9s for rideability, willingness to work, jumping ability, trot and a 10 on his canter. This score still stands as one of the highest earned since the United States 100 Day StallionTesting has been held. This emphasizes that even as the general quality of stallions in America improves , Donavan's quality endures! German judges in 1996 at the Hanoverian Stallion licensing in Maryland declared Donavan the East Coast Stallion Licensing Champion based on his performance record at the time and commented on this very fact of enduring quality.

Donavan ranked 2nd on the US Equestrian Federation Dressage Breeding Leading Sires index in both 2003 & 2004!! In 2005, he ranked 9th (out of 176 stallions). Donavan stands at Riverland Farm in Mequon, WI. He is lifetime approved and licensed for breeding by the:

• American Hanoverian Society
• German Hanoverian Verband
• The International Sporthorse Registry/Oldenburg NA.
• Canadian Sport Horse Association
• The Oldenburg Horse Breeders Society (GOV); and
• Rhineland Pfalz-Saar.

Donavan's Career since coming to Riverland Farm has been under the very capable guidance of Jessica Jo Tate. Together they competed through Grand Prix dressage. Even at age 18, Donavan was earning scores in the upper 60s at Grand Prix!
