New horse for Simon Delestre

New horse for Simon Delestre
France's show jumping rider, Simon Delestre has welcomed a new horse in his stables. The 10-year-old SF-gelding, Uccello de Wil (Marlou des Etisses x Marlon) moves from Pedro Veniss to the stables of Delestre.

Since 2016 the gelding was competed by Brazil's Pedro Veniss, and sometimes by his compatriot Caio Carvalho Filho.  Before it was Alexis Borrin who competed the son of Marlou des Etisses.

Together with his Brazil riders Uccello jumped to a sixth place in two Grand Prix's at the Sunshine Tour earlier this year. The pair also placed 9th in the 1.60m main class at the Longines Global Champions Tour in Cannes.

"We have chosen for Delestre to commercialize our horse," state the owners.
