Debby Gold is a Westphalian mare ridden by Brazilian rider Yara D Amaral Fernandes and competed in the 6yo Division at the 2026 WBFSH Dressage Breeding YH Championships.
Her pedigree is Dancier Gold / Sir Donnerhall / Furst Heinrich / Feiner Stern / Absatz.
She has been added because she has several interesting sibling relationships that are only evident with a further generation, but which are presented through individuals that are not often seen.
Donnerhall is at 4 x 4 x 5 sex balanced.
Absatz has a dominant presence here with Dancier Gold having 4 crosses himself, and is seen sex balanced at 6 x 5 x 6 x 7 x 5. It would definately be contributing to the elegance and type of Debby Gold.
The first of the sibling relationships present are full brother and sister Lukas and Landtanne. This is the main nick in Sandro Hit and Donnerhall and is present in themselves at 4 x 5. This particular nick is the main reason for their highly successful marriage and is further explained in the nicks section on the website.
Lukas and Landtanne are generally only seen regularly wheb Sandro Hit and Donnerhall are combined – which is often.
Debby Gold also has Lukas present via his daughter Labella in Espri on the 7th generation. He is also present via his daughter Ludina in Airport on the 5th generation.
The usual suspect Sandro Hit and has Lukas here on the 7th, and this is followed by the rarely seen Lukas son Laibach on the 6th.
Landtanne is only seen via her son Matador in Donnerhall on his 3rd generation.
Lukas and Landtanne are present seven times in eight generations at 7 x 5 x 7 x 6 x 7 x 7 x 8. The striking thing is they are not just appearing through Sandro Hit and Donnerhall eight times. They are coming in through the different individuals not normally seen in the one pedigree together, including daughter lines in Espri, Airport and son Laibach. It gives far greater layers of complexity to have a bloodline coming in through a range of different individuals and combining different family branches. It also captures a much more comprehensive sample of the total DNA profile for this bloodline. It dramatically increases the probability that the best qualities of these ancestors will be inherited and expressed in the foal – in this case Debby Gold and her progeny.
It is rare to see these close relatives is in this formation, and it is a major factor powering the talent and athleticism in this horse. These siblings can be seen by looking to further generations on allbreedpedigree site.
The other sibling relationship is full brother and sister Disput and Dichtermuse, which come together whenever Donnerhall and Goldstern appear in a pedigree together. Disput is grandsire of Donnerhall and Dichtermuse is grand dam of Goldstern.
These are at 6 x 6 x 7 x 6 x 8 and are again a major power centre in Debby Gold with five duplications mostly in the engine room of the pedigree.
The Donnerhall and Goldstern relationship is an important one which should have been reinforced more often by breeders. It is found in stallions such as Foundation, His Highness, Belstaff, Don Cardinale, Don Deluxe, Vivino, Dauphin, Show Star and Soliman Du Hus as well as numerous Grand Prix horses.
Goldstern was an Olympic team medal horse in 1992 and 1996 and is also a prominent producer of showjumpers including being second dam sire of Stakkato. He is a prime contributor of athleticism, especially when paired with Disput bringing the full brother and sister into play.
Debby Gold is lucky enough to have these two sibling relationships in Lukad / Landtanne, and Disput / Dichtermuse and these are likely to be her major power centres and the source of her talent.
