Elite Hanoverian stallion Donavan turned 18 in March of 2003. He then embarked on his "Farewell (from Competition) Tour." After many years as a successful FEI competitor he has now curtailed his attendance at dressage competitions so he can stop to smell the flowers! This also allows him time for more exhibitions and breeding. Donavan's kind and affectionate, endearing and approachable temperament make him a wonderful ambassador for dressage and the Hanoverian breed.
