On April 8, 2011, the Arabian horse industry lost a true leader when DA Valentino succumbed to colic. The brilliant stallion was undefeated in his show ring career, claiming five U.S. National Championship titles and one Canadian National Championship title. A son of Versace and the Padrons Psyche mare DA Love, DA Valentino was owned by Dan and Maureen Grossman. While his show ring career was unparalleled, his contribution to the breed was perhaps even more noteworthy in his ability to sire remarkable progeny.
