Earlier this week we already mentioned the separation between French rider Roger-Yves Bost and the stallion Ideal de la Loge. After a lot of criticism the owners decided to justify or at least explain their decision. Josette Caradeuc, head of Haras des One, immediately declares that the decision for the transfer to Olivier Robert was taken purely on the basis of a disagreement on the sports management
"As the owner, you like to see your horse in action on the best competitions in the world. The last ten months, Ideal approximately appeared five times at the start of such super events and when he was expected to participate in Hamburg, Aachen, Calgary and soon Rio de Janeiro Bosty then decided to replace him with other horses of his stable", explains Josette Caradeuc.
After sixteen years working together, the Haras des Ones still insists on open communication and trust between owner and rider. "With the advent of the Forbes and d'Elle-horses in the stable of Bost, confidence gradually run down. We spent some time thinking about this decision. But then, after a veterinary inspection found that Ideal is in top form, we no longer questioned and the "transfer" was made after an intensive trial period. "
