In St Tropez, Zanotelli's two former championship horses,  VDL Edgar M and Like A Diamond van het Schaeck have made their appearance with a new rider in the saddle. Norway's youth rider, Ingrid Gjelsten (NOR) has taken over the reins.

Together with the Norwegian youth rider, the new combinations made their debute at a 1.35m level. In 2021 the daughter of Diamant de Semilly, Like A Diamond van het Schaeck, joined the stables of Zanotelli. The pair jumped up to the highest level. The pair managed to place second in the CSI5* Grand Prix in Samorin and last year won the Tour Eiffel, CSI5* Grand Prix in Paris.

Most astonishing result is however the participation at the 2022, FEI World Championships in Herning, resulting in a 27th individual place.
