Wellington, FL – April 1, 2025 – Leatherdale Farms’ 14-year-old Hanoverian gelding, Dublin L secured back-to-back wins with Canadian Grand Prix rider, Diane Creech at the 2025 Adequan Global Dressage Festival.
Dublin L and Creech topped the field in their FEI Intermediate II test during Week 11, and the pair returned the following week to close out their season with a second win during Week 12 in the FEI Intermediate II with a score of 72.353%.
Dublin L (Damsey FRH -EM Wibranda, Wolkenstein II) has been in training with Creech since 2017 after being started at Leatherdale Farms in Minnesota. In 2019, Dublin L was one of three homebreds by Leatherdale Farms who was recognized by Equestrian Canada for his achievements and placed on their National Dressage Team Program. Since then, Dublin L has continued his winning ways topping several Grand Prix classes in Canada with scores of 70.0+.
Diane Creech is a long-time rider for Louise Leatherdale, the co-founder and owner of Leatherdale Farms, and has ridden and developed many of Leatherdale Farms’ international Grand Prix mounts such as Wiona, Devon L, Chrevis Christo, Diana C, Robbie W, and Hallmark. In 2012, Creech was named as the first alternate for the Canadian Olympic Dressage Team aboard Leatherdale Farms’ Hanoverian gelding Devon L, the same mount that Creech earned the Canadian FEI Five-Year-Old Championship title aboard in 2005. In 2007, Creech won a team silver medal at the Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Leatherdale Farms’ Hanoverian mare Wiona, and was named as a reserve with Robbie W, an Oldenburg gelding also owned by Leatherdale Farms, for the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada.
