Lineage:
Gunner KS is by Belissimo M (Beltain x Romadour II) out of the ster, PROK, sport (dres) mare Ronnevanck, a Vincent daughter. Bred to Royal Dance, Ronnevanck produced a ZZ-advanced level dressage horse. Gunner KS's granddam Lonnevanck boasts the keur, preferent, prestatie, and sport (dres) predicates. She is a daughter of the influential sire Donnerhall. Lonnevanck is also the dam of the KWPN stallion Polansky (s.Kostolany), who competed in the Small Tour; a Small Tour horse by Munchhausen; and Z2-level horses by Sandro Hit and Munchhausen. The dam-line continues with the ster preferent prestatie mare Fanbonnevanck, an Ulft daughter. Her offspring include Z1 dressage horses by Upper-Class, Freestyle, and Polansky; as well as Small Tour horses by Donnerhall and Donnerschlag. Next in the dam-line is the ster mare Bonnevanck, a Roemer daughter out of the ster preferent mare Sonnevanck (s.Liguster). She is followed by the keur preferent mare M.Wonnevanck, a daughter of the Hanoverian stallion Eclatant.
