The nine-year-old FBW Graphik (Graf Rhapsody) leaves the stables of the German show jumping rider Sophie Hinners. A loss for the talented Hinners, who recently achieved some beautiful successes in the saddle of the mare during the Morocco Royal Tour and the Stuttgart German Masters.
With a phenomenal second place at the CSI5* Stuttgart German Masters on Friday night, the duo jumped to their last triumph together. Hinners' partner and colleague, Richard Vogel, confirmed at the press conference afterwards that the mare had been sold to Belgian buyers shortly before. "The offer was so high that we couldn't refuse."
The negotiations had already started shortly before the competition, and now the mare has been officially sold. The new owners had agreed with Hinners that she would still be allowed to show the mare in Stuttgart. "That was of course very nice for Sophie," said Vogel. And it was more than worth it!
