Don Da Vinci has been with Team Scholz since he was five years old. Da Vinci is the prime example of how taking the necessary time the horses need pays off. He was licensed in 2016, but gelded shortly after. Don Da Vinci started his competition career in 2021 at Medium Level. As Don Da Vinci developed more strength and security at this level his to talent for piaffe/passage became apparent. "The ambition that hindered him when he was young is now developing into his strength for him at three-star level," stated Fabian Scholz. "He demands a lot of my concentration, but he really “plays” with the movements and is very nice to ride," confirms Carina about her developing Grand Prix partner. Don Da Vinci is very well-behaved and affectionate. He really enjoys being cuddled: "He even closes his eyes when you stroke his head."
