DBH Damiro L

Two years younger than his full brother DBH Royal Bravour this stallion is also one of Peter Geerink`s string of competition horses. He is still a little overshadowed by his famous brother, because latter`s long list of results, including the climax so far, two Volvo`s within a fortnight in Oslo and in Amsterdam in the autumn of 1997, is (still) hard to beat for Damiro, even though he already earned more than NLG 200,000! As an 8-yr-old Damiro was last-comer of the typically Dutch system `approval in appeal`; in the course of 1993 this pre-war Dutch Horse Act was finally abolished and replaced by EC regulations. Unfortunately that was too late for Damiro, although he had already made his international debut as a 7-yr-old at Indoor Brabant (under Peter Peeters) and had another brother in the sport besides Royal Bravour, called Olympic Bandiet, who was jumping national 1.40m classes under Dave Maarsse. The fourth full brother, Elmiro, went to Italy. Damiro`s sire Ramiro Z died in 1995 and, although he was stationed in the Netherlands from 1980 onwards, he has a German showjumping index of 121, still holding 56th place of 950 sires (senior sires) in 1997. His Dutch jumping index is 151 (1997), 13th place of 175 sires. The NRPS honoured him with the rarely awarded title of `performance stallion` and the KWPN declared him `preferent` four years later. So Damiro`s dam Ursula produced four showjumpers by Ramiro Z.
