The eight-year-old mare is a daughter of Clarimo out of a daughter of Philippaerts' former Grand Prix horse, Winningmood. Together with Gregoire Hercelin (FRA), the mare last competed internationally last year in Lyon, reaching a CSI2* level of 1.40m.

"We would like to thank Team VDW MC and Laurent Vignaud for their trust," Philippaerts concluded. It is not yet known who within Team Philippaerts will take over the reins of the mare.
