The stallion career of Don Diamond started with a bang. He became the celebrated Champion of the South German Stallion Days in January 2007. FN head instructor Christoph Hess commented as follows: “He is certainly one of the most impressive stallions I have ever seen in the last few years here in Munich.”
Another highlight followed in November 2007: Don Diamond won his 30-day performance test in Neustadt/Dosse with sensational marks: overall score 8.92 / partial dressage score 9.36.
Don Diamond was the convincing Baden-Württemberg Champion in 2008 (9.63), South German Champion in 2008 and 2009 and – as another highlight – Vice Federal Champion in 2008. In 2009, he won the Black-Golden-Badge (“Schwarz-Goldenes Band”) in Tübingen and successfully competed one more time at the Federal Championships.
But Don Diamond did not only shine as competition horse. He crowned his fantastic breeding debut in 2008 with an exceptional crop of foals in 2009: Don Diamond presented 21 Champion foals in Baden-Württemberg, the Champion colt and Champion filly at the Birkhof Championships, both Champion foals at the South German Championships in Heuchlingen (no stallion has accomplished this before) and the Vice Champion in the division of colts at the German Foal Championships in Lienen.
Don Diamond descends from Grand Prix-stallion Diamond Hit who counts among the top-class stallions in Germany.
His dam carries best Holstein and Hanoverian bloodlines. Various successful advanced level dressage horses descend from the foundation stock of his granddam. With Ramino and Roman, two representatives of the important Ramzes AA-bloodline are represented further down in his pedigree. All-rounder Don Diamond is an exceptional stallion with an exceptional prepotency.
Approved for Hanover, Oldenburg, Italy and all South German breed societies.
