Born April 12th, 2006 , Male
We would like to introduce you to our young black Curly stallion * TO Shadow's Black Diamond ("Ozzie"), a son of the handsome * Hawk's Midnite Shadow and 3/4 brother to the amazing * Shadow's Hawk Spirit (* Heartbreaker"). * Black Diamond is growing more handsome everyday as he matures and his movement is stunning as well. He is 15.1 hands tall and growing with powerful forward movement. We are very excited to see how he develops further. Black Diamond was green broke by Chet Martin and it appeared like they had a lot of fun in the process. After this Black Diamond started his dressage training with Rebecca Schoenhardt. She did a fine job of preparing him for some Walk-Trot and Training Level tests. Annie Baird has taken on Black Diamond's training and showing. They make a great team with both seeming to really enjoy their work. Annie has shown Black Diamond at the RCRA Snowflake Series Bronze Dressage Shows during the 2010 - 2011 winter months. They have earned decent scores and 7 first place ribbons competing at Training Level! Congratulations to both for their dedication and achievement in these Open classes! Annie Baird and *Black Diamond have had a successful summer in 2011 showing First Level at the open silver dressage shows. They earned 5 - 1st, 2 - 2nd, 2 - 3rd, and 1 - 6th placing in tests 1 to 3 at First Level. They were also Reserve Champion at the # 3 Caledon Dressage Silver Show and named Reserve Champion of Open First Level at the 2011 Western Ontario Silver Dressage Championships! Black Diamond and Annie earned two HOY awards in 2011 - one for Training Level and another at First Level. In 2012 Annie Baird and Black Diamond have been working hard at Second Level. They showed at all three Caledon Dressage Silver Shows bringing home ribbons from each. They earned the 2012 Caledon Dressage Year End Award as Reserve Champions in Open Second Level! They were also Grand Champions of the August Caledon Dressage Silver Show in Second level! Annie Baird and Black Diamond schooled Third Level dressage doing a great job with those flying changes. Update! Black Diamond had several years off from showing and "had the life!" just living with his mares and foals in pasture. He is being ridden now again - sometimes in the outdoor sand ring, other times out and about the farm. Black Diamond loves trail riding and is a very versatile stallion. He can be ridden by a novice rider as in the video below or he can give it all in the show ring!
Black Diamond has sired his first foals in 2010, which all seem to have his exceptional movement.
