The 12 year old gelding Cortez (Quick Star x Quito de Baussy), who has been competed by belgian rider Nicola Philippaerts since 2012, has been sold to Mexican young rider Mariel Victoria Aguirre. Aquirre is 22 years old and she has been training with the Philippaerts for the last few months. It is hoped that a horse like Cortez, who has experience at the highest level, will help Mariel progress in her career. Photo : Philippaerts & Cortez in Lummen
