Having been crowned Dutch Champion last weekend at the preparatory level for the Small Tour with her young stallion New Dreams, Adelinde Cornelissen then had to deal with the sudden loss of her other horse, Luqiedo, which she had just started competing in the Grand Prix.
Bred by Aris van Manen, Luqiedo was a son of his former Grand Prix horse Aqiedo, out of a Stedinger mare. Trained since his young horse years by the former leader of Dutch dressage, Luqiedo finished 16th in the 5-year-old Dutch Championship in 2021. Selected for the World Championships at 6 and 7 years old, the sensitive bay was at the time very impressed by the competitive environment: eliminated in 2022, Adelinde Cornelissen preferred to withdraw from the Small Final in 2023.
Having scored over 74% on the Small Tour in CDI in 2024, this gelding from the maternal line of Governor, Fleau de Bain and Parzival, Luqiedo made his Grand Prix debut this year at a national competition organized in Liep: he obtained a promising 73%.
The cause of his death has not been revealed.
