The damline continues with the preferent ster mare Weidevrouwe (s.Houston), she is the dam of the Z-level horse Joyrider (s.Negro) as well as the granddam of a number of sport horses, including the ZZ-Licht horse High Score (s.Charmeur). Donnerhall-daughter Mimosavrouwe is known as the dam of the international Grand Prix-horse Glock’s Undercover, that obtained many wins with Edward Gal.
