Diamo AWH
“Danny”
2020 - 17.1h Dutch-bred
Anglo-European Sport Horse Gelding
by Andiamo Semilly (x Diamant De Semilly)
USEF #: 5997453

Danny is a truly remarkable young horse by the top Grand Prix stallion ‘Andiamo Semilly’. With his charming eye, immense chrome, lofty gaits, comfortable jump, and ‘never says no’ attitude, Danny has it all!

Danny is the ideal partner for anyone looking for that happy go lucky horse who can go anywhere and do anything. He has a comfortable jump along with very easy changes in both directions. Danny is currently schooling 3’3/3’6 in a snaffle and has plenty of scope for the higher classes as he develops.

Danny has a proven record in the 3’ hunter ring and recently stepped up to the 3’3 ring with ease. Prior to starting in hunters, Danny was started in eventing with clear rounds at the Novice level (.90m).

Like many horses from the ‘Diamant De Semilly’ lines, Danny has that understated ‘been there - done that ‘ attitude everywhere he goes. With his quiet confidence and golden retriever personality, he is a real barn favorite. Danny is not easily offended and can take a joke, making him easy for riders of all abilities. He is easy to do everything with (clip, bathe, braid, load, etc) and loves nothing more than being loved on by everyone in the barn. There is no trail or water crossing Danny doesn’t like and he is happy to go alone or in company. This horse is incredibly sure footed and has never taken a sore or unsound step. He is the same horse everyday and always has a smile on his face. Danny is a uniquely versatile and is a true dream horse for any junior or amateur to compete in hunters, jumpers, or even equitation!

I am excited to welcome “Dolan’s Lad” aka Seamus to the AFE team!!

Seamus is a gorgeous 17h, 7yr old OTTB with a heart of gold!

With Chip stepping down from his first field hunting duties, Seamus will be learning to fill his shoes over the summer!

Additionally, with his incredible gaits and powerful jump, we may even expect to see our new friend in the start box this fall!

Thank you Dustin Craig for making the connection! Lots to look forward to with this one!

Super day with Big Joe at Loch Moy introducing a few training leave questions ahead of his move up in a couple of weeks!

Given that Big Joe had never seen a Trakehner (ditch with a log over the top) and is quite green with down banks, we decided to lunge over each question first.

That way, Big Joe gets to take his time and figure out his body without rider weight. Additionally, it is helpful for me to see his expression on the ground which makes it easier for me to know when to apply ‘pressure’ and when to let him stop and think.

After a short time, Big Joe was not only confident on the lunge but also under saddle!

Incredibly proud of Big Joe today at Morven Park horse trials! After laying down a stellar 25.0 in the dressage, Big Joe cruised around the show jumping course to hold the lead into cross country. After cruising around on cross country for an easy clear, a jockey error took Big Joe over the training level log rather than the one on our novice course 🤦🏻‍♂️ While I’m a bit mad at myself for such a silly error costing us the win, I could not be more thrilled with how Big Joe felt! While the result may read ‘TE’, fact that Big Joe finished on his dressage of 25.0 leaves me quite thrilled with him! He’s a winner in by book and now it’s time to !!

And just like that, Muriel Forrest ‘s “Papillon” is officially under saddle!

Pippa was wonderful for her first ever ride and proved to be very confident yet thoughtful throughout the whole process!

We will stick to short sessions at the walk for the next few weeks before introducing trot / trail rides in February, and then start the canter towards March! It’s a long process from a weanling to a riding horse but the more methodical you make the beginning, the better they are as older horses! In many cases, behavior issues in baby horses can be traced back to steps being skipper or rushed through in this period of their training.

(Fun Fact: Pippa’s name papillon comes from the French word for Butterfly since she’s so light and delicate on her feet! )
