Details of Da Vinci (2001 Hanoverian gelding)

Da Vinci was born and raised on our property. He is Canadian owned and has received his basic under saddle education by Stensbeck-batch carrier Sebastian Heinze with whom he also showed successfully during his 3 and 4yo year. Wasn't shown much as owners saw no need to wear him out untimely in the young horse division. Nonetheless he pinned in the Münster/Warendorf area in material classes in company of approved stallions as well as young horse classes.
He is now confirmed 3rd level and takes easy to flying changes and lateral work and has scored around 68% at M level. Eager to go forward. A joy to work around, very sweet in the barn. Loads one-handed, no soundness issues. X-ray workups have been performed on a regular basis.
His oldest full sibling Don Falco has gone on to be very successful with his junior rider after selling through the Verden elite auction. The younger model Diaghilev can be seen here and is now in England.

May 2009 update: Congratulations to Da Vinci and Tamara in Austria on winning their first M-level test together scoring 68%! We're happy Da Vinci has found his perfect partner. Thank you for keeping us posted :)
