The Belgian rider Dieter Vermeiren has said goodbye to one of his best horses, Etoile vd Neerheide (by Emerald). He moves to the Irish top rider Cian O'Connor who already posted a video of him with the stallion on his social media.
The 8-year-old stallion jumped under the saddle of Vermeiren to a silver medal during the Belgian Championships for 7-year-old horses in September. At the end of May the duo competed at the CSI3* show in Opglabbeek where they took part in several 1m40 classes.
