Wellington, FL – March 17, 2010 – Diamante Farms had a great weekend of competition at the Wellington Classic Dressage Challenge II, held at the Jim Brandon Equestrian Center. Diamante Farms is a dressage training, showing, and boarding facility in Wellington, FL, which is owned by Terri and Dick Kane. The Kane’s daughter Devon and Diamante Farms’ head trainer Michelle Gibson each showed their young horses over the weekend and each took home victories. The official judges for the weekend included: Axel Steiner “O”, Natalie Lamping “I”, Lorriane Mac Donald “I”, Fran Dearing “S”, and Joan Humphrey “S”.
Devon Kane showed her Danish gelding Sanchez to victory in Sunday’s FEI Test for Five-Year-Olds with a score of 75.200%. Sanchez is turning five this year and Kane is showing the young horse in the FEI classes to qualify for this year’s National Championships. This was Sanchez and Kane’s second show together, their first just one week prior at the Palm Beach Dressage Derby, where they did very well and moved into fourth place in the national standings.
Sanchez is Blue Hors Romanov out of a Trakehner mare by Camelot. Kane bought Sanchez in Denmark a year ago, but left him in Europe to stay in training there and be gelded. She then travelled to Germany this summer to work with trainer Hubertus Schmidt and brought Sanchez home to Florida this fall.
