Tinka’s Hero has started a new chapter in his sporting career. The fifteen-year-old stallion is continuing his journey under twelve-year-old Cloé Perreau, daughter of French Olympic medalist Olivier Perreau, as reported by StudForLife.
The experienced Tinka’s Hero boasts an impressive record at the highest level. In 2022, under French top rider Simon Delestre, the stallion finished seventh in the 5* Grand Prix of both Doha and Grimaud. From 2023 onwards, Liechtensteiner Jennifer Hochstaedter took over the reins. With her, he earned multiple international podium finishes at 1.50m level and built up a strong streak of placings in 1.45m classes.
Since June, the stallion has taken on a new role: guiding the next generation. After a brief appearance in the arena with Cloé’s older brother Louis, he is now paired with twelve-year-old Cloé Perreau. Tinka’s Hero is putting his experience to work in classes up to 1.15m, yielding immediate success: this month, the pair secured a third-place finish against the clock and a second place in the Grand Prix Amateur 1 in Vougy and Vichy.
