WELLINGTON, Florida, April 25, 2021–Mr. Bumblebee, a 13-year-old Danish Warmblood gelding competed at Small Tour by Cesar Parra for more than three years, has been moved to Grand Prix rider and trainer Devon Kane at Diamante Farms in Wellington. Devon’s family owns the premier training facility.
Mr. Bumblebee (Sting x Welt Hit II) owned by Equiventure LLC, John & Karen Blank, arrived at Diamante Sunday.
Kevin Kohmann, the German-American trainer, is based at Diamante and on Five Star competed head-to-head with Mr. Bumblebee throughout the Global circuit.
The horse was initially competed at Small Tour by Katie Riley when she was a trainer with Cesar Parra but is now also based at Diamante.
Cesar, who formerly rode for Colombia but in recent years for the United States, took over the ride in 2019 and since then has logged 15 starts through this winter’s Global circuit.
