Swiss rider Pius Schwizer announced yesterday on his facebook page that he has ceased his partnership with Quinoa Stables and as a result has lost the ride on five of his top horses. Earlier this year Pius was given several horses that were previously competed by Irish rider Cameron Hanley. The first of which, Antello Z, was soon returned to Hanley after a deal was made which involved another horse, Living the Dream. The remaining horses, Caretina de Joter, Living The Dream, Amira, Dundee vd Dwerse Hagen and Newton de Haut Bois will now change riders again. Caretina de Joter and Living the Dream have been sold to Stal Tops in the Netherlands. The remaining three horses will be competed by young Swiss rider Morgane Dassio, who has been supported by those horses owner for many years. Schwizer states : "I very much regret this. But what can I do, I have to respect the owner’s decision. My whole season planning was concentrated on these horses. Now I have to count on my young prospects and also try to strengthen again my string of horses." Photo : Hanley and Caretina de Joter ©Equnews.fr
