At the last moment of the year, Louke Baeten and Stijn Stevens have said goodbye to their top horse, Pegina vd Bisschop. The nine-year-old daughter of Comme Il Faut is moving to the stables of Shane Sweetnam.

“It’s hard to say goodbye to such an amazing horse,” Stevens shares. “We have a long history together, from a 4-year-old rough diamond to competing at CSI3* 1.50m level. We are incredibly proud that the mare can continue her career at an Olympic stable.”

Earlier this year, Louke Baeten guided the mare to a podium finish at the CSI2* Grand Prix. Recently, the duo placed sixth in the CSI3* 1.50m in Opglabbeek.
