Life and Achievements
Donnerhall was bred by Otto Gärtner and was sold as a foal to Otto Schulte-Frohlinde. He successfully took part in numerous international dressage competitions at Grand Prix level. Donnerhall was a son of Donnerwetter out of the mare Ninette by Markus-Carnot.
His dressage career began in 1984 when he finished the stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf as reserve champion with 131.92 points. Donnerhall, trained by Herbert and Karin Rehbein , was very easy to train and reached Grand Prix level within just two years. He was especially known for his expressive passage , piaffe, and strong trot .

At the 1998 World Equestrian Games in Rome, his last tournament, he won team gold and came in fourth in the individual evaluation. He was also voted Oldenburg Stallion of the Year 1998.
At the age of 17, Donnerhall was officially retired from sport in 1998 on the occasion of the Oldenburg main licensing.

In June 2007 a bronze statue of the stallion was erected in the Oldenburg pedestrian zone near the Lappan .
