Don Davidoff Sold to Mr Bechtolsheimer in England
December 13, 2002
 Millionaire
Wilfried Bechtolsheimer has purchased yet another top
dressage horse on the European continent. And this time,
it's not just a "super" dressage horse, but
an exquisitely unique one. Don Davidoff, 2000 Oldenburg
Licensing Champion and 2002 Young Horse World Champion
in the five-year old division, is now property of Mr
Bechtolsheimer.
According to Horse Gate, Don Davidoff, a black Don
Gregory offspring, was purchased by Bechtolsheimer from
owners Paul Schockemoele and Karl Heinz Ehlen. Don Davidoff
will become the future mount of daughter Laura Bechtolsheimer,
who is currently competing in the Euro Future Cup Young
Riders finals at the CDI Frankfurt.
 Don
Davidoff gained fame in the dressage world by winning
the German Young Horse Championships in the 3-year old
division under Heinz Jorg Wachter. Ann Kathrin Ehlen,
daughter of Karl Heinz Ehlen and former rider of the
Trakehner stallion Peron, presented the black stallion
at the 2000 Oldenburg Licensing where Paul Schockemole
bought a share in the stallion. From then on, Don Davidoff
was ridden by Dr Ulf Moller who showed him at the World
Championships and German Young Horse Championships (winner
5-year old class).
Bechtolsheimer, a native German but living in England
for many years now, already bought the chestnut mare
Winniza from Mr Ehlen, and the multi-winner Placido
(for 500,000 €) from Mr Schockemoele. Laura Bechtolsheimer
and Don Davidoff will be trained by Bechtolsheimer stable
manager, Markus Gribbe.
