Simone Pearce will no longer compete for Gestüt Bonhomme, the stable itself reports on their social media. The rider had arrived at Gestüt Bonhomme less than a year after leaving Gestüt Sprehe behind her. At Bonhomme, the Australian rider rode to several successes and qualified, among others, with Fiderdance (by Fidertanz I) for the World Championships in Herning and finished seventh with the same horse at the FEI World Cup Final in Omaha, USA.
"Unfortunately, very shortly after a successful passage at the FEI World Cup Finals in Omaha, Simone Pearce is leaving our team and will start on her own, albeit with a sponsor by her side," Gestüt Bonhomme reports in their message. In a big month, in mid-June, the rider will leave Bonhomme Stud.
"We would have loved to accompany and support Simone and her Grand Prix stars such as Fiderdance, Cadeau Noir, Morricone or Grey Flannel on their way to the Olympics, as well as beyond," it sounds with regret. "Nevertheless, we are convinced that Simone has a great career ahead of her and we wish her all the best. We want to thank her for the great successes we achieved together," they conclude.
By necessity, the stable will now start looking for a new, talented rider in line with their philosophy and big, sporting vision. Anyone with talent and a good attitude is welcome, Grand Prix experience is not required.
