A Dab will do, ya.
Team USA’s Will Coleman has swapped his mount for the Paris Games. Originally slated to compete on his 2022 World Championships mount Off The Record, he will instead ride direct reserve selection, Diabolo, aka “Dab.”
The 2012 Holsteiner gelding (Diarado x Aljano 2), cared for by Hailey Burlock and Erin Jarboe and started in Australia, has competed relatively lightly in the U.S. since joining Coleman’s string in 2023.
In seven starts at the CCI4* level, the pair has finished inside of the top 10 five times and won their last FEI appearance, the highly competitive CCI4*-S division at the 2024 Kentucky Three-Day Event in April. In 23 FEI starts, Diabolo has just two finishes outside of the top 10.
No reason was given by US Equestrian or the rider for the horse change.
Coleman and Diabolo will compete alongside Boyd Martin and Fedarman B, and Caroline Pamukcu and HSH Blake in Paris.
