France's Marie Hecart has welcomed a new horse in her stables. Hecart will in the future ride, Belgium's Marinus den Doelder's Alpha de Ternoire. The 9-year-old gelding was bred by Simone Riedinger and owned by Marinus den Doelder and Ludo Philippaerts.
The son of Kashmir van Schuttershof made his last international appearance at the CSI2* competition in Gent, earlier this year. Under the saddle of Marinus den Doelder, Alpha jumped into the prices in a 1.40m and 1.45m class.
Until September last year it was Ludo Philippaerts' rider, Stijn Timmerman who competed the gelding. When Hécart will make her debut is yet unknown.
