The Irish top rider, Cian O'connor has announced the sale of his C Vier 2 (Cardento). In the future the 14-year-old gelding will compete for the United States. O'connor acquired the gelding earlier this year to qualify for the Olympic Games in Paris.
At the World Equestrian Games in Herning, the Irish jumping rider reached his goal. The pair also won the CSI4* 1.50m in Wiesbaden and jumped clear rounds at the CSIO5* Nations cup of Rome and Knokke.
"Today C Vier left Karlswood on a journey to his new rider from USA. I was delighted to be a part of this special horse’s career, even if only for a few short months. In that time, we won a Grand Prix qualifier at Wiesbaden, jumped clear in the Nations Cups at Rome and Knokke but our highlight was undoubtedly the special clear he jumped in the first round of the Nations Cup at the World Championships in Herning, Denmark which helped Team Ireland secure Olympic qualification. Thanks to Mie Ostersen who took such great care of him for me and a huge thanks to Susan Magnier for purchasing him initially for me - we had a goal and we achieved it."
Before it was David Will successfully competing the gelding.
