Last week Olivier Philippaerts was riding at the CSI2* competion of Bonheiden and he brought some new talents with him. Olivier showed two new horses: Quaprice Normande and Granny de Goedereede. The 10 year old Granny de Goedereede (Calvaro) was formerly ridden by another Belgian rider, Jan Geukens. In their last competition together, Granny and Geukens got one penalty for time in the 2* GP. Granny comes from the same 'family' as Otello du Soleil (Romain Duguet). The other new horse Philippaerts was competing last weekend is Quaprice Normande (Zandor Z). This is a 12-year old Selle Français mare and was ridden by Some French riders before she came to the stables of the young Belgian rider.
Olivier and his twin brother Nicola will be riding the CSI2* of Bonheiden again this weekend.
