Mijnheer van de Lentamel (Emerald x Toulon) was sold to Cian O'Connor. This seven year old horse with top breeding has impressed many people all year with his consistent performance. Beautifully produced from a 5 year old by Anna Wilks for the IN Showjumper’s team he has delivered clear round after clear round at the Zangersheide Spring Tour, before he stepped onto the grass at Eindhoven where his great form continued.
It became inevitable that Anna Wilks was going to lose the ride on this talent over the summer and after being the only horse to jump double clear in the 7 year old final over the impressive 1.40m course in the atmospheric arena at Knokke two weeks in a row it was Cian O’Connor who secured this very amazing horse.
“We will all really miss this special horse but I couldn’t be more happy he has been bought by Cian as I know he will be given the best chance to continue his journey to the very top of the sport. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the team at IN Showjumpers and Patrick Vandereyt for finding this horse as a 5 year old and Luc Tilleman (T&L) for selling him to us at that time. This is one of many great young horses that Patrick has found for IN Showjumpers. Cian – I wish you all the luck of the Irish with this wonderful horse!”
