Diabolo will replace Coleman’s initially selected mount, Off The Record.
Diabolo will now join the three-member team ridden by Coleman, along with Boyd Martin on Fedarman B and Caroline Pamukcu on HSH Blake.
Diabolo finished first in the competitive CCI4*-S at the Kentucky Three-Day Event, finishing on his dressage score as one of only two to ever achieve that honor.
Coleman had very lightly competed Diabolo in 22023, electing instead to get to know the horse at home before entering an Event.
“We bought the horse last year and I can’t thank the people enough who came together to acquire him for me,” he said of the Diabolo Group LLC. “I think we’re only just getting started and I really hope that we can just continue to bring him to his full potential.”
