Earlier this year, Robbin Robijn decided to place his Chacco-Blue son with Dutch top rider Jur Vrieling. “The stallion has the potential to keep developing, and he deserves those opportunities,” Robijn explained at the time. Before that, Amanda Slagter had been in the saddle.

The switch proved successful. At the end of August, Vrieling reached the podium in the CSI4* 1.50m Grand Prix of Gijón (ESP), and earlier that month, he collected two placings in the CSI Samorin 1.45m Gold Tour. The pair also won a 1.45m class during the CSI5* LGCT in Cannes. Together with Vrieling, the stallion progressed up to the 1.55m level.

From now on, Sara Vingrálková (CZE) will take over the reins. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to ride such an amazing horse,” she shared. “Cornet Blue PS is already getting used to flying the Czech flag!”
