Certes Diamant est arrivé au sommet, mais il ne
faut pas s’endormir sur ses lauriers, nous confie Richard et Sophie Levallois avec
également Richard, réaliste. Il a fallu travailler dur Olivier Martin et Brasilia de l’Abbaye
vice-championne de France des 6 ans 2017
pour en arriver là. Il faudra continuer à travailler sœur utérine de Rock’n Roll Semilly
tout autant pour qu’il reste dans le Top Mondial …
et pourquoi pas également trouver la relève pour
prolonger la belle histoire familiale ? »
Peu nombreux sont ceux qui ont su déceler un
étalon Chef de Race, produire son meilleur fils,
l’emmener sous la selle familiale jusqu’au plus
haut niveau, gérer toute sa carrière d’étalon et
voir parvenir celui-ci au sommet de la hiérarchie
mondiale !

“This is a great accolade for an extraordinary horse with
exceptional qualities”, Richard says. “Everything about
this horse has always surprised us: his amazing jumping
qualities, his willingness (never in his life did he ever have a
refusal),the quality of his production…. even his own incre-
dible fertility that he retains today despite his age.” If asked
to whom Diamant owes his success, he humbly responds;
“It’s the work of the whole family, the whole team, but also
to all the breeders who trust him, and riders who today take
pleasure in riding his products. Certainly, Diamant has arrived
at the summit, but we should not rest on our laurels, also says
Richard, realistically. We must continue to work just as much
to keep him at the Top Level as long as possible… and why not
also find a successor to prolong this beautiful family story ?”
Not so many horsemen have been able to identify a stallion
that would become a ‘chef de race’, producing his best son,
putting him under a familial saddle that would take him to
the highest level, managing the whole career of a stallion
and seeing him reach the summit of the world hierarchy ! 5
