Wellington, FL (February 11, 2016) – Good works and great horsemanship are keeping Diamante Farms of Wellington, Florida delightfully busy this month. As the Adequan Global Dressage Festival’s CDI5* week – sponsored by Diamante Farms – is in full swing, Diamante Farms’ owners Terri and Devon Kane still find time to make generous contributions to the dressage community and local charities.
Diamante Farms hosted the USEF Dressage Outreach ‘Strategic Test Riding’ Clinic this past weekend, led by the USEF Dressage Assistant Youth Coach and FEI Dressage 4* Judge Charlotte Bredahl-Baker. “I really enjoyed working with this very talented group of riders. Diamante Farms is an amazing place and I really appreciated Terri and Devon Kane’s hospitality,” said Bredahl-Baker after a tremendously successful clinic.
“It’s very important to us to show our support for the up-and-coming in our sport,” Terri Kane said of their busy and benevolent equestrian lifestyle. “Devon and I love to help.”
“We were very grateful to Diamante Farms for hosting a wonderful event,” said Hannah Niebielski, USEF Director of Dressage and National Programs like the USEF Youth Dressage Program Strategic Test Riding Clinic at Diamante Farms, which targeted Pony, Junior, and Young Riders.
While hosting the clinic on February 6-7, the Kanes and Diamante Farms were also Corporate Sponsors of the seventh annual Great Charity Challenge, presented by Fidelity Investments® at the Palm Beach International Equestrian Center. The much-anticipated show jumping team relay race – complete with elaborate costumes in the theme of Fairy Tales for horses and riders – awarded over $1.65 million in 2016, with 100% of proceeds distributed in full to 50 Palm Beach County charities. Friends of Foster Children’s young beneficiaries were teamed with Diamante Farms and ‘Team Aladdin’ riders Andre Mershad, Andy Kocher, and Sheer Levitan during this year’s competition.
While serving as title sponsors of the CDI5* at Wellington’s Adequan Global Dressage Festival, the Kanes and Diamante Farms are again simultaneously preparing for another event near and dear to their hearts – the upcoming Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Center Auction and Dinner. Anyone spending time in the Global Pavilion at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival this week can learn more about the Vinceremos Therapeutic Riding Center by stopping by the educational display Diamante Farms set up to promote the benefits of therapeutic riding and hippotherapy.
The CDI5* week will also feature the second annual Salute to the Olympians, a tribute to dressage’s past international Olympians presented by Diamante Farms. Everyone is welcome to attend the Salute at 6:15 pm on Friday, February 12, right before the Friday Night Lights Freestyle competition.
Also during the Adequan Global Dressage Festival, Diamante Farms is the title sponsor of the Under 25 division throughout the 12-week show series. Devon Kane herself will also be competing in the prestigious show rings with the promising horses she has coming up the ranks, including Sir Galanto, a Hanoverian stallion (by Stedinger out of a De Niro mare), and Winchester, an Oldenburg gelding (by World of Dreams out of a Fürst Heinrich mare).
Diamante Farms offers top-quality training, clinics, boarding, and sales in dressage. The lush estate offers more than 20 courtyard-style stalls, grass paddocks, and large covered and outdoor arenas with world-class footing. Learn more about Diamante Farms at DiamanteFarms.com or call 561-307-2831.
