Quibelle AEG was co-owned by her breeder and Belgian showjumper Grégory Wathelet. Originally, the mare was set to return to Wathelet's stables after the Belgian Championship in Lanaken to join him on his US tour. However, plans changed after a successful sale.

"The plan was indeed for Quibelle to come back to me after Lanaken and join me in the US," Grégory Wathelet reacts. "In the end, I am now only taking Argentina de la Marchette Z and Rebel van 't Zomerhof with me. Quibelle was ready for the next level, but our goal remained commercialization, so mission accomplished! She arrived at our yard as a foal and has completed her entire journey with us so far."

A Grateful Farewell from Antoni Draga

For Antoni Draga, the Belgian Championship in Lanaken was his final show with the mare:
"We had agreed that the Belgian Championship would be our last show together before she joined Grégory's stables, but in the end, she was sold. I am really happy because the contract is fulfilled. Quibelle is a mare with temper; I realized right away that building a special relationship with her was key."

Draga looks back on their achievements with pride: "I will always remember our first 1.50m on the big grass arena at the Sunshine Tour, where she jumped clear right away. Then came our first 3* Grand Prix in Saint-Tropez—again clear—and the 4* in Cabourg. I remain convinced that this mare has not finished surprising us and still has great room for progression."

Strong Maternal Line

Quibelle AEG comes from top jumping bloodlines. Her granddam is a maternal sister to the well-known Darco descendants and international performers Victor and Kalief. Following her successful training pipeline, the mare will now continue her career under the Ashford Farm banner.
