Showjumping world has to say goodbye to First Class van Eeckelghem

Yesterday First Class van Eeckelghem was euthanised due to a heavy colic. First Class was a 12 year old BWP stallion by Balou du Rouet. He was bred in Affligem, Belgium by Pierre Floru.

This stallion got different top results with his Stephex rider Daniel Deusser. He won this summer the nations cup final in Barcelona and rode at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro where they ended on a ninth individual place and got the third place with the German team. In 2014 Deusser won the National Championship titel in Germany with First Class van Eeckelghem.

Last week Stephex stables lost there mare Cesanna that was ridden by Emilie Conter. We want to wish Daniel Deusser and the whole stephex team our support.
