Absent from the Dutch team since the 2017 European Championships in Gothenburg, Diederik van Silfhout was nonetheless shortlisted for the 2024 Paris Olympics with Dante US—a stallion that, at the time, had not yet made his Grand Prix debut. The talented bay, now 10 years old, has been sold.
Bred by Paul Schockemohle, this Oldenburg gelding is by Dante Weltino, the star stallion of Swedish rider Therese Nilshagen, out of a mare by Sir Donnerhall who also produced Glock's Total US. Ridden in 2020 and until spring 2021 by Renate van Uytert-van Vliet, then trained by Alex and Diederik van Silfhout, the dark bay finally came under the saddle of the rider from Luntheren. Fourth in the first test of the Dutch Championship at the "ZZ-Zwaar" level in 2022 with a score of 71.71%, they then took second place in the freestyle test with 76.48%. In 2023, they achieved 5th place in the Small Tour Championship thanks to two tests of 72.108% and 76.875% and began international competition at the CDI of Exloo and Geesteren where they won the Inter I free test in June 2023.
They then started the Inter II at 72.255% and the Grand Prix in CDI in 2024 at 68.152% in 2024. Having only competed in the CDI at Exloo and Leeuwarden in 2025 and Tolbert in 2026, Dante US finally joined the United States, sold, according to horses.nl, to Miguel Latimer in Kentucky.
