NEWS RELEASE:
Our Trakehner stallion Featured on Horse-opoly
We at Smoky River Sport Horses are complemented by the selection of our Trakehner Stallion Donnerval to represent the Trakehner breed on the board game HORSE-OPOLY (A Horse version of Monopoly). We have loved and owned horses all our lives. Smoky River Sport Horses farm currently has three stallions, (one being Donnerval) where we breed, raise, train, and compete.
We are please the Trakehner breed was one of only 3 warmblood breeds chosen for the game, and we were further honored that Donnerval , our stallion (Canadian Born/Raised) , was selected to represent the Trakehner breed on an North America widely distributed, and internationally available game.
Donnerval was trained by Smoky River Sport Horse’s, Arne LaValley, which is pictured on the game riding Donnerval, jumping over the Trakehner sign. Being selected for this game is another unique and complementary way for Donner to be recognized internationally.
Donnerval has steadily been making a name for himself due to his great temperament, trainability, bloodlines, and jumping ability, as well as his ability to pass on his impressive attributes to his offspring. Donnerval has produced many offspring for the past several years, giving us ample opportunity to work with, and train his offspring. To Quote Arne, “I don’t know of any other stallion that leaves so many offspring with such a high consistency of natural jumping talent, great minds, and overall trainability.”
Donnerval and the Smoky River Sport Horses breeding program, in general, are quickly gaining respect and praises from the people who have had the opportunity to witness, work with, ride or buy these offspring. Pleased owners of horses from Smoky River Sport Horses are far reaching from Fairbanks, Alaska to Maryland, USA.
Some of the feedback about Donnerval and Smoky River Sport Horses include Erika Fink a Pro Rider from the USA, who stated “The soundness of mind of a horse is as important as soundness of the body, & these horses have it all. They are very personable, very ride-able, and all are top quality horses suited for every level. Arne builds a wonderfully strong foundation into them. These horses learn to collect, ride well, and remain light and responsive to the rider. The consistency which these horses are brought along and maintained is remarkable. I believe they are a top choice to anyone seeking the best in quality horses.
Another happy buyer Darrin Hartzell stated Smoky River Sport Horses has an outstanding breeding program producing athletic, intelligent, calm and outstanding conformational characteristics. I can’t say enough about the thought and care that goes into the selection process to end up with such a well put together horse.
Fans of Donnerval, his offspring, and SRSH have been very excited to see Donnerval immortalized by the board game. Due to this fact, and for use of Donnerval for Horse-opoly, Horse-opoly has generously donated some board games to Smoky River Sport Horses for booth displays, giveaways, and buyers of Donnerval offspring.
