With this sale, Steven Vermeir bids farewell to a horse with whom he completed an impressive journey. Bred by photographer Kristof Wellekens, the mare was produced entirely by Vermeir. As a four-year-old, she jumped her first courses under his guidance before steadily progressing to the international level.

The combination had recently reached success at 1.50m level. Last September, Vermeir and Crazy Music Royal Z reached the final of the Belgian Senior Championship in Lanaken. Earlier, they had also claimed victory in several international classes and Youngster Tour competitions.

At STB Horses, they look back on the partnership with pride: "From a 4-year-old mare to a 1.50m level horse: a wonderful story that we are incredibly proud of. Thank you, Crazy, for all the beautiful moments, victories, and your incredible fighting spirit. You will always hold a special place in our hearts. Hats off to Steven, who brought her to this level, and Stijn for the right guidance. Because of you, she has become the horse she is today. We wish Shane Sweetnam the very best of luck with her new chapter. Crazy is heading to Florida, where a new adventure awaits her."

With the move to Shane Sweetnam, the mare departs for Florida to develop further at the very highest level. For Steven Vermeir, STB Horses, and the breeder, this transfer represents a fitting reward for years of training and sporting success.
