Here you have the World Champion of five year old dressage horses. Dimaggio is a modern Hanoverian in the noble chestnut color blessed with three outstanding basic paces. His sire, Don Primero, was the 1990 Bundeschampion of German dressage horses and highly successful in international Grand Prix. The dam's sire, World Cup I, won his stallion performance test, became the DLG Reserve Champion Stallion twice, was Hanoverian Stallion of the Year in 1997 and produced numerous well-known dressage horses such as Watussi, What Joy, Willi the Kid, Walamo, Water World and Vino Veritas. Through the wiry half Thoroughbreds, Lindberg (by Der Löwe xx) and Emir in the following generations, the line ends in the Dannenberg breeding region. Two of Dimaggio's half-brothers and sisters won at the 2003 Bundeschampionat - Dynamico in the class for five year old dressage horses and Devils Bride in the class for three year old riding horses. Also Cherie, the 2001 World Champion of six year old dressage horses and hands down winner of the 2003 Nürnberg Burgpokal confirm Dimaggio's dressage pedigree par excellence. Dimaggio passed his performance test in 1999 in Neustadt/Dosse with a score of 133.39 (2nd place) with a 10.0 for rideability before he was highly placed at the Bundeschampionat. He then made his way to England where he immediately became Champion of young horses. In 2000 in Arnheim (NL) he became World Champion of five year old dressage horses. In 2002 and 2003 Dimaggio won and placed in various tests up to Intermediare I. During his breeding time in England, Dimaggio presented the 2003 British Warmblood Champion and the British Sport Horse Champion.
