Rodrigo Almeida and Echos Son Z part ways

Portuguese rider Rodrigo Almeida has sold one of his top horses. Echos Son Z left today for his new owner.

Earlier this year Almeida already said goodbye to two other top horses: GB Celine and Jorden van de Kruishoeve. Now also Echos Son Z leaves the stables of the showjumping rider.

The 11-year-old gelding is a descendant of Echo van't Spieveld and Heureka E (Nabab de Reve). Under Almeida he was active at CSI5* 1.50m level.

The horse was bred by Niels Bruynseels and has been ridden by Jeroen Appelen, Thomas Kairis and Tim Prouvé. Now Echos Son Z will continue his career under the saddle of Anastasia Nielsen.
