St Pr St Naturell
Year of Birth: 1995     •      Height: 146cm     •      Breed: Deutsches Reitpony     •     Breeder: Karl-Heinz Klüsener

 

Naturell was Champion Mare in Westfalia in 1998 and was awarded the Gold Medal, so becoming a State Premium mare by right. She competed at the Bundeschampionat from 1998-2001, before being imported to England in late 2001. Here she competed with great success at FEI pony and medium level, with scores of up to 77%, representing Great Britain a number of times. In 2004 she became the Midlands Medium Restricted Regional Champion, qualifying her for the National Championships, where she was placed 7th. Throughout her ridden career she demonstrated her amazing temperament and great rideability, being described by one highly respected trainer as " a mare in a million".

Naturell is now proving to be as great a broodmare as she was a competition pony.

Naturell's sire, Nantano, has produced over 50 licensed sons and over 30 State Premium mares, including a number of Bundeschampions. He himself was Bundeschampion in 1979 and competed at the Pony European Championships in show jumping. He has been in the top 10 in the FN Year Book (list of top ten rated German riding pony stallions) for over 10 consecutive years.

Naturell's dam, St Pr St Donna Bell, is a highly successful mare producer, having so far produced 5 State Premium daughters and 3 Verband Premium daughters. Two more of her daughters (Bella Donna and Bella Bavaria) also reached the final of the Elite Mare Show. In her mare performance test in 1993 she gained the impressive score of 8.11, with 8s for her walk, canter and rideability. She also gained 8.5 for her jumping. She was placed 7th in the final of the Westphalian Elite Mare Show and and went to the Bundeschampionate as a 3, 4 and 5-year-old. She competed successfully against large horses many times.

Naturell's damsire Durello was champion at the Oldenburger Championships and was Westfalen Dressage Champion in 1988. He held first place in the German national top ten sire rating list for riding ponies from 1994 - 2005. He has produced over 41 State Premium mares and over 24 licensed stallions in Germany. In 2003 Durello's progeny won a total of €14,535 in prize money at German shows.

The cross between Nantano and Durello has been an extremely successful one over the last two decades in Germany, producing a number of Bundeschampionat finalists, licensed stallions and State Premium mares.
