SIRE: Diesel SF
Now beginning his Grand Prix career, elite stallion Diesel CF is a talented Hanoverian stallion that has been successfully trained and competed from Training Level to Grand Prix by amateur owner/rider Kasey Cannon.
Diesel is a full brother to the premium Hanoverian Grand Prix stallion Damsey FRH, who has been ranked as high as 4th in the FEI Dressage World Rankings and on the German A-Squad with Helen Langehanenberg.
In addition to producing Diesel and Damsey, Diesel’s dam, Ria Grande, also produced International Grand Prix mare Daianira van de Helle. In 2013, Ria Grande was awarded the prestigious Hanoverian Mare of the Year title, one of only five dressage mares ever to receive this coveted award from the Hanoverian Verband. Diesel was bred in Germany by Hermann and Dorit Kothe, who owned both his dam and sire.
Diesel stands at 167 cm or just shy of 16.2 hands.
Diesel was imported in 2016 and has been with Kasey since import. His quality, character, temperament, work ethic, rideability and trainability have proven to be exceptional. Like his brother, he shows exceptional talent for the higher collected work, particularly piaffe, passage, pirouettes and tempi changes.
In sport, Diesel has been very competitive. He has been Champion and Reserve Champion for multiple state and national titles in the seven years that he has been in the US. In 2017 and 2018, he was Reserve Champion USDF Dressage Horse of the Year (and Champion AA combination in the US) for Second Level and then again for Fourth Level. In 2019, he earned scores up to 74.5% at PSG. And in 2020, along with Kasey, he made his international debut in the Small Tour and broke the 70% barrier at their very first CDI in Temecula, CA. Diesel and Kasey qualified 6th (and notably the only amateur combination in the top 15) for the Intermediare 1 Championships in Chicago at the Festival of Champions, however the pair decided to forego the Championships in order to make an even bigger trip at the end of 2021. And in December of 2021, Diesel and Kasey returned from an amazing two months of training in Germany with Olympian Helen Langehanenberg. Please see the Germany 2021 page for a recount of this amazing experience!
In 2022, Diesel and Kasey made their Intermediate II debut. And while they showed hors concours (HC), they broke 70% at this first show back in over a year and the pairs first time showing piaffe and passage! And most recently, in December of 2023, Diesel and Kasey made their Grand Prix debut in Thermal, California, where Kasey earned her Gold Medal and Diesel officially earned the ES (Elite Stallion) designation!
Diesel has a top temperament. He is very easy to handle, both at home and at shows,100% by Kasey. He nickers and whinnies whenever he see his humans but he is very quiet and well behaved around other horses, including mares. At competitions he lights up and loves to put on a show and yet he will lay down and sleep the first day he is there. He is in general, a very calm and happy horse. In the arena, his focus is bar none. It doesn't matter how many horses are in the warm up, whether the wind is gusting, tents are flapping or how loud the motorcycles are that pass by, he doesn't bat an eyelash. He is always highly focused on the job at hand... and the bigger the atmosphere, the better! As a bonus, he loves to trailer out and hack away from home. And he's incredibly patient... he will stand in the trailer without making a fuss (even while waiting at the clinic to be collected), he will wait in the cross ties until he's taken out, he doesn't get agitated when being clipped, legs and face included. He doesn't beg. He tie's to the trailer. He is super in the wash rack, with the farrier and he loves his vets.
Diesel is a dream come true. He checks all the boxes. He has amazing presence, he's highly competitive in sport with an amateur rider, he shows huge talent and promise for the big ring, he's very smart, exceptionally focused and always trying to answer the questions that are being asked. He's an international quality stallion with a temperament to match.

DAM: Lady by Bretton woods x Fuerst Heinrich
Lady's Sire. Bretton Woods is a large, strong framed stallion with a fabulous physical harmony. This impressive Dutch Warmblood (KWPN) has a powerful bloodline and graceful dressage gaits. At 3 years old, he won the 2010 VSN Circut Championship and also the Stallion Performance Test in 2010 with a 10.0 for rideabilbity, and an overall score of 84.5 points. At the Performance Test he received 7.5 for walk, 8.5 for trot, 9 for canter, 8.5 for suppleness, 9 for self-carriage, 8 for rideability/character and 9 for dressage potential. In 2011, Bretton Woods prevailed again winning the Bronze medal at the World Championships for five-year-old dressage horses. Now he is ridden by Matthias Alexander Rath, who is carefully preparing him for the highest level of the sport. By the end of 2013 the pair achieved several top rankings in Prix St. Georges.
Bretton Woods' offspring are brilliant in type and, as expected, big movers. In 2013 he presented, for the first time, a high number of foals in Germany, with the vast majority being awarded premiums and achieving top prices at auctions.
Bretton Woods' sire Johnson was the Champion of the KWPN licensing in 2005 and participated in the World Championships of Dressage Horses in 2007. Internationally Johnson has been a very successful dressage horse. His dam Anabel, bred to Jazz, produced champion stallion Chagall and has been on the of the highest ranked mares in KWPN breeding. With De Niro and Romancier on the dam side we see a strong pedigree.
Lady's dam sire is Fuerst Heinrich.
For a stallion that lived so briefly and died so young, Fuerst Heinrich continues to exert an extraordinary and disproportionately positive influence on the breeding of successful dressage horses. His brief competition and breeding performance is impeccable. Awarded a Premium Stallion at the NRW Licensing in 2000 at 2 years old, he went on to be Champion of his performance test in Münster-Handorf with a score of 8.82 and was Main Premium winner in Oldenburg. Qualifying for the Bundeschampionship with a score of 8.5, he then competed successfully in his class and came 2nd in the Final. Finally, in 2003, as a five year old, he was crowned World Young Horse Dressage Champion with a score of 9.3.
In his short breeding career, he produced over 40 Licensed Stallions including many Premium Stallions, Champions and Reserve Champions. At the 2004 Oldenburger Licensing his first crop sons, Van the Man and First Forez, were awarded Champion and Reserve Champion respectively. n 2006 his son, Furstenball sold for the record price of 110,000EU at the Oldenburger Foal Auction. In 2007, the Licensed son, Froschkonig won the title of Oldenburger State Champion as a 3 year old.
The NRW Licensing in 2007 saw Reserve Champion awarded to a Fürst Heinrich son, and in 2008 Fürstenball was crowned Champion of the Oldenburger Licensing. He has also sired an impressive list of State Premium mares: Fantastica, Champion Mare of the 2005 Westphalen Elite Mare Show; Feh, 1d Premium Mare and Furstin, 1h Premium Mare at the 2005 Rheinland Elite Mare Show. two Fürst Heinrich daughters finished in the Brilliant Ring at the Oldenburger Elite Mare Show in Rastede; Herzfurstin was awarded 1d Premium at the 2006 Rheinland-Pfalz-Saar Elite Mare Show, and Famagusta, 1j at the Rheinland Mare Show. Our own Floria was awarded State Premium Mare in 2007 with a dressage score of 9.0. Most recently, Woodlander Farouche wowed the world when she won the World Breeding Championships in 2011 at five years old.
In 2010, five years after his death, his Dressage Breeding Value was 151, with reliability of 98%.
