Francis and Danilo, a 17-year-old Hanoverian gelding by De Niro 6 x Andiamo 28 owned by Patricia Stempel, helped the U.S. Dressage Team take the bronze medal at the 2019 Nations Cup CDIO5 in Aachen, Germany in 2019 and competed at the 2018 FEI World Cup Dressage Final in Paris. The pair took the 2020 competition year off not only due to COVID, but also because Danilo was recovering from injury.
