Among the interested, the Limburg-based horse dealer and rider Boaz Rich, who had been following the qualities of Joint de Canabis from Doornhoeve for some time. He facilitated Alberto Michán, a two-time Olympic participant, to take the reins.

The son of Canabis Z, bred and owned by Astrid van Doorn-Brinks from Bennekom, out of an also homebred 1.50m jumping daughter of Cardento, has just left the stables of the Heijligers family from Asten.

"Of course, I regret it," says Rob on behalf of the family, "but I have also greatly enjoyed this horse. I'm glad I had the opportunity to train him to this level since he was five-years-old. Incredible he's now in the hands of an Olympic rider who will guide him to the highest level. I wish the new combination a lot of success."
