Belissimo M × Don Frederico (Bolero–Donnerhall Damline) In dressage, brilliance may capture attention. Rideability is what keeps people in the saddle for years. Bella offers both. Beautifully bred by Belissimo M out of a Don Frederico mare, Bella combines exceptional German performance bloodlines with the kind of temperament that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Unlike many horses her age, Bella has been thoughtfully developed rather than intensively campaigned. She offers the advantage of low competitive mileage—less cumulative wear while still having years of competitive development ahead of her. Carefully produced with long-term soundness in mind, she remains physically and mentally fresh for her next rider. Bella has earned scores into the low 70s at First Level schooling shows and high 60s at USDF Recognized competitions, while confidently schooling Second Level with easy lateral work and a soft, elastic connection. Naturally uphill with an exceptional walk, balanced canter, and expressive trot, she is athletic without sacrificing rideability. Her greatest quality, however, is her mind. Forward without being hot, sensitive without being reactive, and remarkably steady in new environments. At her very first horse show, I unloaded her at an unfamiliar venue and stepped into the show office to collect my number. By the time I returned, she was peacefully napping at the trailer—before she'd even been tacked up. That quiet confidence has defined her ever since. Bella is equally enjoyable in the barn, easy to handle, haul, and travel, and has also proven herself as an uncomplicated broodmare, producing an outstanding Diesel CF colt. With her careful jump, balanced gallop, and athleticism, she also offers exciting eventing potential. If you value thoughtful development, exceptional bloodlines, and the kind of temperament that makes every ride enjoyable, Bells represents a rare opportunity.
