However Uli Kirchhoff, Rene Tebbel, Cassio Rivetti and Ferenc Szentirmai see their horses leave. According to some sources the majority of Onyschenko's horses are sold to Germany's Paul Schockemöhle.
Yesterday a truck picked up the horses with their top riders. "It's like somebody pulled out the trigger," states Kirchhoff.
For Onyschenko the future doesn't look bright. The Ukrainian billionaire is accused for corruption and awaits a jail penalty.
