Before Sternlicht took over the reins, Toulago mainly competed under the saddle of Switzerland's Pius Schwizer. As a 9-year-old the pair finished 7th at the World Cup finals in Lyon. The same year they also comepted at the World Equestrian Games in Caen.
Last year, Scwhizer announced the the end of their cooperation. At that moment the gelding was transfered to Belgium's Stephex stables - through Roger Yves Bost - with the goal to compete at this year's Olympic Games. Together with Daniel Deusser Toulago won this year's 1.60m CSI3* Grand Prix in Offenburg.
Also the 8-year-old Cristalline moves to Sternlicht's stables. Cristalline was the surprise of this year's World Cup finals in Gothenburg. Together with Australia's Chris Chugg the mare finished 10th.
