Duvent has had an exemplary career beginning with his being named champion foal at his American Hanoverian Inspection.

Silva and Duvent have won the USDF Region I Reserve Championship at Second Level in 2011 and won the Reserve Championship at Fourth Level in 2012. Duvent and Silva won their Fourth Level Class at Dressage at Devon in 2012, as well as two Reserve Championships at Fourth Level.


In their quarterly magazine, The American Hanoverian Society featured the success of this pair, winning against a large Fourth Level field at the Commonwealth Dressage and Combined Training Association Competition at Morven Park in May, 2012. Duvent was the American Hanoverian Society's USDF national All Breeds Fourth place winner at Open Fourth Level for 2012.

With scores consistently in the 70's, Duvent is often described as flashy and electric, with expressive gaits and elegant presence. Silva is currently working Duvent in all the Prix St George movements, as well as one and two tempi's. Duvent is an excellent horse for hacking and is suitable for a confident amateur or professional rider to continue to Grand Prix!
