Showing successfully in international dressage competition, Parcival is also very exciting for the jumper breeder.  Both his sire and dam line have produced many successful Grand Prix and international jumpers, including half-brother Pavarotti (by Lancelot), currently successful in the Grand Prix ring with U.S. Team rider Todd Minikus, and Jeroen Dubbeldam’s grand prix mount Nassau, who shares Parcival’s damline (Jolanda).  Half-brother Hamar (Mythens x Tamara) is a KWPN approved stallion who also jumped successfully in the United States with USET rider Laura Chapot, and has sired successful grand prix jumpers such as Blue Danube.

As a dressage horse, Parcival has had tremendous success in the FEI ring, competing undefeated at Prix St. George and Intermediaire 1 with his amateur owner in 2007, and garnering Horse of the Year honors in Adult Amateur Prix St. Georges for USDF and KWPN All-Breeds.  In 2008, Parcival showed exclusively on the highly competitive Florida winter circuit, making his debut in the CDI ring and finishing in the top 20 of the horses competing in the International High Performance division to qualify for the Naional Intermediaire Championships.  Parcival finished his first Florida season as Markel Amateur Winter Dressage Champion for both Prix St. Georges (avg. 69.361%) and Intermediaire 1 (avg. 69.277%), and was USDF All-Breeds Horse of the Year at Intermediaire 1, Adult Amateur, for KWPN. 

 Parcival and Amy remain in training with Michelle Gibson in Wellington, Florida, where they have been since early 2008

NEWS:

November 2009 - The Diamante Farms gang has returned from Germany and the barn is busy and full.  We have many new young horses filling stalls and it promises to be an adventurous winter season!  Congratulations to Jody on her beautiful young mare Chica (see the Oldenburg GOV website for photos of Michelle, Devon, Terri, and Jody having a grand time at the auction).  Add Devon's lovely gelding Sanchez and my fantastic World of Dreams baby Walk The Line, and it looks like we will be filling up the young horse classes this season.  Merry Christmas, y'all!

October 2009 – Congratulations to Michelle Gibson and Don Angelo, who were invited to perform a special Grand Prix exhibition at the Oldenburg Auction Gala in Vechta on October 2!  Word from Germany has returned that they were stars at the huge event, which celebrated the 30^th year of the auctioneer’s service there.

September 2009 – Parcival and Amy are enjoying a couple of months in Aiken, SC working with Shawna Harding while the Diamante Farms crew goes to Germany to work with Hubertus Schmidt.  Shawna trains out of the beautiful Black Forest Equestrian Center, which encompasses 500 acres of the most beautiful South Carolina countryside.  Parcival is enjoying his hacks in the woods!

August 2009 - Although his first official breeding season in the U.S. will be 2010, Parcival does have one foal on the way – Dr. Bill Patterson, Parcival’s own veterinarian, has bred one of his mares to him and we are excited to see the result next summer!  Dr. Patterson reports that, although late in the summer, he used only one dose of frozen semen.
