Elice, the former mare ridden in on international Grand Prix level by Charlotte Chalvignac Vesin will no longer compete. Since her sale, the solid chestnut mare offered her owner, American Danielle Leiner, the opportunity to reach Grand Prix level. After establishing themselves in the Small Tour, they moved up to Grand Prix in March 2024 and since competed in national events with scores exceeding 67%, in competitions held in Wellington, Allentown where they won 5 times, and A

Annonced next week at the start of the Wellington World Cup, which she announced she would participate with DSP Quantaz, himself scheduled to compete in Amsterdam before being replaced by Wendy de Fontaine, the German rider has finally opted for Special Blend. Despite his sale, the Sezuan's son has crossed the Atlantic ocean, still positioning Isabell Werth as the favorite in Wellington where she will face: Laine Ashker & Zeppelin, Caroline Darcourt & Lord Django, Laura De Ce
