Divine EDI: A Talented Dressage Prospect 2022 Gelding | 16.1 hh | Dolce Gusto x Jovian For the ambitious rider, the "true training journey" is a search for a partner who is physically capable of the work but mentally eager to participate. Divine EDI is the embodiment of that balance. Representing a rare intersection of world-class bloodlines and a steady, workmanlike soul, he offers the quality of a professional’s horse with the temperament that makes every day in the barn a joy. Pedigree of Power: Dolce Gusto x Jovian Divine’s lineage reads like a "who’s who" of modern dressage excellence. He is by Dolce Gusto, a stallion renowned for passing on his exceptional rideability and a "can-do" attitude that is highly coveted in the sport. On the dam side, he features the legendary Jovian, a double World Champion for Young Dressage Horses and famous Grand Prix Horse. Jovian’s influence is unmistakable in Divine’s elastic, expressive movement and his natural uphill balance. This combination has produced an athlete with the power for the FEI levels and the logic to get there calmly. The Performance: Modern Expression & Honest Contact Divine is bred for the big ring, but his character is built for the rider’s peace of mind. Under saddle, he is remarkably steady and balanced for a four-year-old. He seeks the contact with honesty and confidence, allowing his rider to focus on the nuances of training rather than managing tension. * Uphill & Elastic: He possesses three correct, expressive gaits characterized by impressive elasticity. * Engagement: He is naturally "on the team," remaining mentally engaged and highly trainable throughout every session. * Balance: His natural uphill tendency makes him exceptionally comfortable to sit and influence, even as he begins to develop his expression. The Personality: A Gentleman on the Ground The "EDI" standard demands more than just movement; it requires a brain that can handle the world. Divine is the definition of "chill." He is a favorite in the barn for his laid-back approach to life—easy to handle, straightforward for the farrier, and a professional traveler when hauling. Whether he is in the cross-ties or under the lights, his heart rate stays low and his focus remains on his person. The Ideal Partner Divine is perfectly suited for the dressage enthusiast who understands that the best horses aren't just bought—they are developed. If you are looking for a horse with the physical presence of a Jovian offspring but the "old soul" temperament that makes the journey from the Young Horse classes to the FEI levels feel attainable, Divine EDI is waiting for you.
