Diamo Dream, the Hanoverian gelding which competed for Poland and Portugal at the European Young Riders Championships, is moving to the U.S.A. where he's continue his sport career at a slower pace as a schoolmaster.

Poland

The black first came into the spotlight under Polish Aurelia von Mauberg, who premiered him at international competition in April 2019.

She first competed the gelding in the junior division and in her debut year took him to CDI's in Zakrzow, Pilisjaszfalu, Vazgaikiemis, Hagen and Sopot. They were nominated on the Polish team for the 2019 European Junior Riders Championships in San Giovanni, where they finished 60th in the individual test with 66.412%.

In the 2020 corona year they showed in Hagen and Pilisjaszfalu before heading to the 2020 European Junior Riders Championships, also in Pilisjaszfalu, where they were 38th in the individual test with 66.235%.

Two weeks after the Euros trainer Ilona Janas (POL) showed Diamo Dream in the small tour at the CDI Brno before Aurelia moved up to Young Riders level at the CDI Zakrzow in October 2020. In 2021 they had a successful season with four international victories. At the 2021 European Young Riders Championships they were 26th in the individual test with 67.706%.

Von Mauberg also campaigned Diamo Dream at young riders level in 2022 but their last CDI was in April 2022, when they achieved a triple victory at the CDI Zakrzow. They did not go to their fourth consecutive European Championships and Diamo Dream has not competed internationally since Zakrzow.

Via Denmark to Portugal

The Oldenburg gelding moved to Helgstrand in Denmark to be sold. He showed three times at national level in Denmark in 2023. First in the early spring with Mete Sejbjerg Jensen in a Prix St Georges test (68.553%), then in an M-level test (73.611%). In November Sophie Wilson rode him in Intermediaire I class and posted 65.921%.

In the autumn of 2023 the black found a new home in Portugal as Tiago Ferreira's Young Rider hopeful. He sold to American Courtney McFarlane-Kennedy of Home Ranch in Clark, Colorado, U.S.A, at the same time that licensed stallion Revolution sold to Colorado based MFI Group for Tiago's business partner Roberto Brasil to ride.

Tiago and Diamo Dream debuted at the CDI Cascais in February 2024 and after also competing in Jerez, Madrid and Le Mans they were nominated on the Portuguese team for the 2024 European Championships in St. Margarethen, where they finished 40th in the individual test with 66.500%. They closed the year with a double win at the CDI Esposendefollowed by the Aachen Young Stars show. In 2025 the pair campaigned in Jerez, Aachen, Tolbert, and Golega to return on the team for the European Young Riders Championships in Kronberg, where they were 31st in the individual test with 67.059%. Their last CDI was in Matosinhos, where they also earned their second, consecutive Portuguese Young Riders Champion's title.

U.S.A.

Diamo Dream will now begin a new chapter in his career in Coloroda, as a schoolmaster for Courtney Kennedy.

"I’ll be forever grateful for our journey together," said rider Ferreira. "You fulfilled some of my biggest dreams and sometimes I still have to pinch myself to believe everything we have achieved together. You’ll have a special place in my heart forever."

"I know you went to the best person that could ever take you in this planet and I know you will bring her as much joy and happiness as you did to us, because that’s what you do our champion you just make everything better," trainer Roberto Brasil stated.

Kennedy has been riding Vila de Sagres' Lusitano stallion Jumbo dos Diamantes (by Xerife dos Diamantes x Quiosque do Top), which Ferreira competed internationally at junior level in the spring of 2022. In the summer of 2022 he sold to Kennedy. Courtney made her national show debut in March 2024 with Jumbo at Third level. In 2025 the Lusitano gelding Lord dos Diamantes (by Xerife dos Diamantes x Xango do Arete) joined her string.
