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.
