The 8-year-old Holstein stallion Kannandillo (Kannan x Candillo), from the breeding farm of Hengststation Rödl, has found a new rider: Olympic champion Harry Charles. After successes under the saddle of Greek-Austrian rider Angelos Touloupis, Kannandillo will continue his career at the highest international level in Great Britain.
Angelos Touloupis discovered Kannandillo's exceptional talent when he was just four years old. Under his guidance, the stallion grew into a promising young show jumper. Their joint career was marked by impressive performances, including a winning start at the World Young Horse Championships in Lanaken as a six-year-old and a victory at the CSI3*-W 1.50m class at Samorin.
With the move to Harry Charles, Touloupis closes a wonderful chapter. On his social media, Touloupis shared:
“We are so proud of what Kannandillo has accomplished. From his first international competition as a 5-year-old to his greatest victories, every moment with him was special. This success is thanks to my fantastic team and the Rödl family, who have always believed in him. Kannandillo will always be part of our hearts.”
With his new rider Harry Charles, Kannandillo has all the assets to continue to shine at the highest level. Touloupis closed with warm words, “We will follow you with pride, Kannandillo. You are a winner and we believe in your future in the great arenas of the world.”
