German B-squad listed Grand Prix rider Bernadette Brune has sold Di Magic OLD to Helgstrand Dressage in Denmark.
Di Magic OLD is an 11-year old former licensed Oldenburg gelding by Dimaggio out of Farodie (by Rohdiamant). He is bred by Christian Niemann.
Brune discovered Di Magic at the 2011 Oldenburg Autumn Elite auction, where she bought him for 240,000 euro as auction price highlight.
Bernadette began competing the sympathetic black gelding in 2012 in the young horse classes at the CDI Vidauban. By the summer, her assistant trainer at the time, Alizee Froment, took over the ride and rode the stallion to a 9th place in the Finals at the 2012 World Young Horse Championships in Verden, Germany. One month later, Brune was back on board and placed fifth at the 2012 French Young Horse Championships in the 5-year old division.
In 2013 Brune competed the youngster at the CDI's in Vidauban and earned silver at the 2016 French Young Horse Championships in Saumur. In 2014 and 2015 the combination competed in the Developing Prix St Georges horse classes.
Their last CDI show together was at the CDI Vidauban in March 2015. The horse was trained up to Grand Prix level.
