• Top class competition star with exceptional dressage pedigree and amazing expression and elevation
• Stunning! Superb confirmation enabling balanced, powerful movement with 3 correct, athletic paces
• The ‘Wow Factor’ in bucket loads and a wonderful temperament to go with it!

Don Dramatico (Diego), is just the most phenomenal boy in every way, he brings a smile to your face every day! An extremely flashy, extravagant, handsome rising 4- year-old gelding. A fabulous opportunity for future top level competitions who oozes presence, ability and has the Wow Factor!

Imported from Germany in 2023 after weaning. Diego is very well handled daily; he confidently can be led around our busy farm, with cows, sheep, pigs, dogs and tractors. He is stabled at night, has been rugged during cooler weather and has daily grooming. He has had the very best in time and care, vaccinations, farrier, worming etc. Diego is a quick learner and has shown a genuine willingness with his training.

Diego has spent the summer months at Morris&Smith Young Horse Specialists, he has had an excellent groundwork education, daily long-reining and been lightly backed. He is now ready for someone to carry on with and make him their own.

Diego has three extremely expressive, elevated, athletic and uphill paces. He has excellent conformation allowing him to be very well balanced and powerful with his active hind leg. He has inherited all the qualities and attributes required for the higher levels from both lines of his pedigree.

His Sire Despacito caught the interest of breeders very early on in his career with his stunning appearance and great pedigree. With the clear victory in the Hanoverian Championships in Verden with the dream grade 8.8 and the subsequent win of the silver medal at the Bundeschampionat in Warendorf, he put himself in the spotlight for breeders. As the son of the impressive Don Nobless, out of a dam by Sandro Hit-De Niro-Ehrentusch, his genetics leave nothing to be desired. His love for work and his extremely pleasant nature completes the picture of a stallion, who raises many expectations.

Grand Sire - Don Nobless competed at the Bundeschampionat as a five-year-old, and he is now successful at international grand prix under Susan Pape; winning his first grand prix special in January 2017 and since picking up a host of placings at the level with scores over 70% and making his first Nations Cup appearance at the CHIO in Rotterdam. His grand-sire Dancier was champion of the 2004 Hanoverian Stallion Licensing in Verden and the 2005 stallion performance test in Adelheidsdorf.

Dam Sire - Quaterback. A stallion that seems like he could only come from another planet - with his light-footed, brilliant movement and perfect cadence, all eyes become riveted on Quaterback when he appears.

He was the radiant Bundeschampion of the three-year-old riding horses in 2006 with the highest scores for his trot and canter. The test riders in Warendorf even gave him this dream score of 10.0. Prior to this test, he had won several tests for young riding horses. He was also the winner of his 30-day test with a final score of 9.14 in dressage, an 8.43 for jumping and an overall score of 8.88. As if it were not enough to have unbelievably dynamic movement, he was also blessed with an outstanding type. Quaterback comes from one of the most successful mare lines of modern day. His dam Passionata is a half-sister of the unforgettable World Champion and double Bundeschampion, Poetin. Her full brothers Samba Hit I to IV put on convincing presentations at the Bundeschampionate. Quaterback's successful advanced (S) level sire Quaterman also participated in several Bundeschampionats and is deemed one of the best sires for passing on good movements in the new German States.

Quaterback in the end excelled as a performance producer, he passes his big and fleet-footed movement to his offspring, and therefore has produced a lot of foal champions and auction foals.

Diego has definitely inherited the ‘Wow Factor’ from his relatives and to top it all is a gorgeous boy, both inside and out. This is an incredible opportunity to acquire such a truly exceptional rising 4 year old, who is ready to finish and ride away.

Serious enquires only please from the very best of knowledgeable competition homes. Price is negotiable to the perfect home.

Open to any veterinary inspection.

Please get in touch if you have any more questions or would like to come and meet Diego.

• British Warmblood
• Chestnut
• Gelding
• 10 years
• 17hh / 173cm

• Lovely dressage horse with great paces
• Excellent breeding (De Niro)
• Successfully competing at BD Elementary and Ponyclub Open

Very sad sale because my daughter is going to university.

We bought Rossi directly from his breeders three years ago. Since then, my teenage daughter has trained him up to Medium dressage. They have successfully competed BD up to Elementary and Unaffiliated up to Medium. They’ve also done lots of Ponyclub activities, including camp, rallies, and stayaway shows. They’ve qualified for Ponyclub National Championships four years in a row and have competed in the Intermediate, Open and Freestyle classes, and got several placings. Earlier this year they’ve also qualified for Ponyclub Spring Festival where they came third in the Open FTM.

Rossi has three lovely paces and is a very quick learner. He has a green change and a lot of potential to go far with the right rider. He enjoys a varied lifestyle, including hacking – either alone or in company. Rossi has been to several fun-rides, and he loves a good gallop – with or without saddle. He also loves to jump – both show-jumping and cross-country. He doesn’t bat an eyelid at fillers and jumps everything, but needs some convincing to go into water.

However, Rossi is not a novice ride. He has big movements, and he needs a knowledgeable rider and home. Rossi weaves when he is left alone or when he gets bored. We have managed this with a good routine, which is important for him. He is good to handle on the ground, and can be turned out alone or in a herd with mares or geldings.

Rossi is good to load and shoe, and up-to-date with vaccinations and dentist. He has regular saddle checks and routine physio visits.

We are looking for a competitive home for Rossi where he can continue to compete and enjoy a varied lifestyle, and where he will be loved.

Comes with full wardrobe.

• Stunning Jet Black Furst Romancier Gelding. 17.2hh but built exceptionally refined & narrow
• Push-Button Schoolmaster. Completely fluent in lateral work with a brilliant half-pass

FEUR NOIR – Elite Luxury Amateur Schoolmaster & Regional Podium Finisher

• Sire: Furst Romancier

• Age: 17 Years Old

• Height: 17.2hh (built very refined, narrow and light off the leg)

• Colour: Black

• Level: Established Elementary / Light Medium Schoolmaster

• Location: Waterstock Dressage, Oxfordshire

• Price: £9,500

An exceptional and rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique, magnificent black gelding by the world-class sire Furst Romancier. Feur Noir is a proven schoolmaster who couples jaw-dropping "wow-factor" looks with an outstanding, verifiable competitive record under British Dressage with Arabella Whelan. He is a highly refined, rare type of warmblood who possesses the ultimate presence, making him the perfect partner for a competent amateur or leisure rider who wants a "supermodel" horse to cherish, enjoy at home, or dominate at the regional levels.

Proven Competition Highlights & Training

Feur Noir is a reliable, correct performer who excels in a championship atmosphere:

• Podium Finisher: 2nd Place at the Merrist Wood Winter Regional Championships (Elementary Gold) with a superb score of 71.04%, standing toe-to-toe with and beating combinations from the UK's top professional yards.

• Championship Calibre: Fully qualified and competed at the National Dressage Championships.

• Consistent Winner: Prolific winner at regional qualifiers, scoring up to 73.54% under British Dressage.

• Lateral Masterclass: He is completely push-button and brilliant at half-pass and leg-yield, offering a rider the ultimate, effortless feeling of established lateral work.

Rideability & Character

Do not let his height deceive you. While he stands at 17.2hh, he is built exceptionally narrow, refined, and leggy—riding like a much smaller horse. He sits light in the hand, handles seamlessly, and does not require a strong rider.

True to his premium breeding, he is a safe but authentic, clever warmblood. For the first 10 minutes of a session, he can feel a little "stuffy" and requires a capable rider to confidently and sympathetically send him forward to stretch. Once he is loosened up and through his back, he transforms completely—becoming incredibly light off the leg, responsive, and a total joy to ride.

Please note: He is strictly not a novice ride. Feur Noir is a professional horse who definitely knows who is on his back. In confident, capable hands, he is a total gentleman and a generous teacher. He is excellent to hack in company or alone, shoe, clip, box, and catch.

Health, Maintenance and Ideal Home

Feur Noir is currently entirely sound, fit, and back in full work. To ensure longevity and maximum comfort due to his height, he has been lightly and successfully maintained under veterinary guidance with standard stifle joint injections. He responds beautifully to routine care and is being sold with a full, transparent clinical history available for a vet-to-vet chat.

He is at his comfortable physical ceiling and is not being sold as an Advanced prospect to do flying changes, as these place too much pressure on his stifles. He is priced to reflect his unique beauty, manners, and established education. He is looking for a luxury home where he will be kept at his current comfortable level or stepped down to enjoy lateral work, hacking, and low-impact dressage.

Serious inquiries only. Video footage showcasing his warm-up, brilliant half-pass, and manners is available upon request.
