Hollingrove Echo was awarded Head Stud Book status by the AWHA at her mare classification. Echo has produced 4 foals by Contenda to date. Echo's first foal, a bay filly called Wimborne Consort has also been awarded Head Stud Book status by the AWHA and will be retained by the stud to be part of our future breeding program. Echo's thrid foal with Contenda, a brown colt, called Wimborne Classic bears an undeniable resemblance to his sire ,Contenda, and is also being retained as a future stallion prospect for the stud. All of Echo's progeny with Contenda to date have outstanding conformation, dressage quality paces and from those old enough to display it, outstanding jumping ability.

Hollingrove Echo's dam line: Donnerheist by Donnerhall 

Donnerheist was imported into Australia by Olympic dressage ridder, Mary Hanna. Donnerheist was subsequently sold to Jenny Rapson, who purchased the stallion for Matthew Dowsley to campaign. Donnerheist died from colic at the age of 8 years old leaving only a small number of progeny in Australia. Despite their small numbers Donnerheist progeny have proven to be very successful in dressage with several of them succesfully competing at Grand Prix level. Donnerheists progeny can also regularly be found winning breed classes and mare classifications.

Donnerheist is by the legendary dressage stallion, Donnerhall. Donnerhall was until very recently the most successful dressage horse in the world. He managed like no other sire of his generation to combine success in breeding and in sport alike. in Germany alone he has produced over 77 licensed sons and more than 84 state premium mares as well as competing successfully in dressage at the highest level. To top off a ridden career full with awards and successes, Donnerhall with rider Karin Rehbein were part of the Gold Medal winning team at the 1998 Rome World Championships. As if this was not enough, Donnerhall also placed fourth in the individual rankings. Finishing at the the very top of his sport in 1998 Donnerhall retired from sport to continue his duties as a sire of countless champions to come. On 14th January 2002 Donnerhall passed away at the age of 21 from and acute intestinal toxicopathy. Donnerhall was already a legend in his own time and his progeny continue to shine his light long after he has left us.
