Richelieu is out of Donna diVersace (sold by Bradstone Stud 2004) and was backed Autumn 2006. Richelieu is a 'kind' horse with a great temperament, is a wonderful one leg in each corner horse with excellent movements and looks a picture. 'Rich' always tries to please! It was my intention to keep Rich as my own riding companion but he has to be sold as our horses in training in Germany have to be paid for. He will surely be a wonderful companion for an aspiring rider.

Rich was backed by and ridden by Catherine Burrell near Marlborough, Wiltshire (a very successful Young Rider) for 6 months until June 2007. After a Summer-break, 'Rich' was ridden by Chris Dannan, Devon (an advanced dressage competitor) during 2007.

'Rich' is in training by the experienced Viola Abrahams in Germany since March 2008. This is a very talented and gentle horse with big potential for dressage. Rich should go to a kind & caring rider. Richelieu is for sale at GBP 10,500.-

Donna diVersace with her daughter diDonzella and Richelieu (as a foal at foot) won 1st price in the prestigious family class at the BHHS annual show at Addington in 2003. Ludwig Christmann from the German Verband was the main judge.

Donna diVersace is out of St.Pr. Marschfee. She was Staatspramie Broodmare Champion of Germany. Marschfee was a multiple show winner in Germany and produced Don Paulo (a licensed full brother to Donna) based in Belgium and one licensed stallion Di Versace-96 sold at the Verden elite auction to Gestut St.Ludvig, Germany. Di Versace won his first 3 year old show with a score of up to 9.5.

St.Pr. Mascha R (full sister of Marschfee) was Broodmare Champion of Germany and has produced the licensed stallion Del Piero. He was 3rd in the stallion performance test at Munster-Handorf and he was the federal German 5 year old dressage champion in 1998 with a dressage score of 9.5.

Moreover, the damline produced the Celle stallion Lehnherr as well as the in the USA successful Grand Prix dressage horse Dutch by Damnatz I.

Matcho AA was winner of the stallion performance test 1992 at Adelheidsdorf. He was based at Celle between 1983-1995 where he founded his own stallion line Matcho-Line (M-Line).

The powerful performer Garibaldi II in the 3rd generation was also a renowned hereditary transmitter of extraordinary versatility.
