Deep Black - Deauville

Vinios' Oldenburg gelding Deauville is by Del Gado out of Bruvanda (by Gervantus I x Aktuell x Futuro). He is bred by Karl-Heinz Bayer in Germany and originally owned by Hubert Ratermann.

Registered in Germany with the name Deep Black, the gelding made his first marks in sport in Belgium as "Deauville". Owned by Vera Daniels, he was competed by Thomas Debecker from Belgium. In 2012 he did national junior level classes and their claim to fame came in 2017 when they won bronze in the Under 25 division at the Belgian Dressage Championships.

Deauville sold to Vinios as a Grand Prix Schoolmaster in the autumn of 2017.
