Saudi-Arabia's  Abdullah Al Sharbatly has a new mount in his stables. The show jumping rider continues his partnership with Syrian rider, Ahmad Hamcho. The latter has now trusted Abdullah with his owned, Contifex (by Cornet Obolensky). The 13-year-old stallion was until now competed by Ahmad Hamcho himself. Last year the pair finished third in the CSI3* World Cup qualifier in Abu Dhabi. Further they took home the fourth place in the 1.40m at the CSI2* in Sharjah. Before Ahmad Hamcho took over the reins it was Irish Denis Lynch who competed the stallion. Under the saddle of Denis Lynch Contifex won the 1.50m Accumulator at the CSI5* in Geneva in 2011. That same year they also won the Equita Masters in Lyon. Contifex joins now Saudi-Arabia's Abdullah Al Sharbatly, together with the 10-year-old Dublin (by Douglas).
