Abdel Saïd had already ridden the son of Aganix du Seigneur last year, and now the Belgian-Egyptian showjumper has proceeded with the purchase. Said's rider, Samuel Hutton will take over the reins.

"Ambassador Z, you were an extraordinary partner... I feel incredibly grateful that our paths crossed. In just one year together — my very first season at CSI 5 level — you made my dreams come true,"* said Inès Joly.

"From the win in the 5 Grand Prix of Monaco to second place in the 4 Grand Prix at the CSIO in Rabat, and my first LGCT final... This journey exceeded anything I had ever dreamed of. You gave me unforgettable moments and took me further than I ever thought possible. Saying goodbye is never easy, but I know you’re in good hands. I’m looking forward to seeing you shine under Samuel Hutton in the United States with Abdel Saïd’s team. And I’m sure we’ll be hearing a lot more about you."
