In March, Sadran made her international debut with the gelding. Nopal van Tallaert was previously trained internationally by Nick Vrins (BEL). Afterwards, the Australian rider Amber Fuller took over the reins.

Fuller and the Belgian-bred gelding earned top results last year, including a placing in the CSI5* 1.60m Grand Prix of Doha. The pair also finished third in the CSIO5* 1.50m in Rotterdam and represented Australia in the CSIO5* Nations Cup in Rome. Earlier this year, Ashford Farm’s rider Jana Wargers took over the reins.

Enda Carroll emphasizes the strategy of always pairing the right horse with the right rider. “It was great to see how both progressed in the first competitions. And I see a clear connection and match for the future.”
