De Luca wants to stand on his own two feet and will develop his own sports stable. "I am grateful to Stephan for the support and pleasant cooperation. I do not exclude that we will work together in the future." Tells the jumping rider.

De Luca progressed from a CSI2* level to the top of the world during his time at Conter. Among other things, he achieved second place in the world rankings in 2017 and occupied the No. 1 position in the WBFSH rankings for many years with Halifax vh Kluizebos.

"It is with respect and mutual consultation that we have decided to go our separate ways each."
