In elite dressage, some horses announce themselves long before their first big test. D’Vinci, Jennifer Diamond’s 11-year-old KWPN gelding, is one such horse—a standout not only for his movement, but for the unmistakable presence that defines future stars.

Jennifer purchased D’Vinci as a two-year-old, long before his frame filled out or his talent fully revealed itself. What she saw then was potential: an uphill silhouette, an intelligent eye, and a raw athleticism that hinted at something extraordinary. Over the past nine years, she has developed him with meticulous intention, transforming that potential into polished FEI performance. In the barn, he is simply “Vinnie”—curious, charismatic, and beloved by everyone who meets him.
Vinnie does not travel alone. He is accompanied everywhere by his best friend, Pal, a miniature pony who is wholeheartedly convinced he is the real star of the operation. Pal struts into every showgrounds with an oversized sense of purpose, keeping Vinnie calm, entertained, and fully himself. Their bond has become part of the Diamond Dressage story—proof that even in high-performance sport, joy and connection are at the center of great partnerships.
In the arena, D’Vinci is elegance in motion. His naturally uphill balance, powerful hind-leg articulation, and expressive, elastic gaits give him the foundation for continued ascent through the FEI levels. His collected work shows confidence and lift; his extensions display the freedom and reach that turn heads instantly. But it is his mind—bright, willing, and emotionally attuned—that makes him truly exceptional.

Jennifer and Vinnie move together with seamless communication, the result of nearly a decade of trust and quiet consistency. This is a horse who listens to the smallest shift in her seat, who offers both power and softness, and who reflects years of thoughtful development rooted in horsemanship, not shortcuts.
Now, as Jennifer positions her program toward larger stages and international ambitions, D’Vinci stands at the heart of a vision that is clear, strategic, and deeply promising. His trajectory mirrors Jennifer’s own: disciplined, ascendant, and grounded in the kind of integrity that resonates with long-term supporters.
For investors and partners seeking to align with a rising athlete, D’Vinci represents a rare opportunity—a horse with the physical talent, mental reliability, and proven training foundation to shine on the world stage.
This is not simply a horse in training.
This is a horse destined.
And with Jennifer guiding him, and Pal proudly trotting alongside as self-appointed captain, the journey ahead is one investors will want to be part of from the very beginning.
