Aachen show

A NEW CSI event will be staged at the famous showgrounds of CHIO Aachen. The CSI**, 1* and CSI-YH show will take place on April 28th-May 1st.

The classes will be held in the Deutsche Bank Stadium, usually reserved for the dressage riders at the CHIO Aachen.

“We would like to benefit from the unique structure in order to organise a special show addressed to a wider riders’ target group, not necessarily ranking in the top of the world.

“With our CSI**, CSI*, CSI-YH, the dream of riding in Aachen can become concrete reality,” said the show organisers.

Egano sold

STEPHEX Stables’ Egano Van Het Slogenhof has been sold to Canada.

The 12-year-old gelding (Electro x Nagano) enjoyed huge success under Belgium’s Gregory Wathelet, who recorded 10 international victories with the horse after he took over the reins in the autumn of 2014.

Recently Lorenzo de Luca also notched up a win with Egano Van Het Slogenhof at the 2016 WEF, before the horse was sold.
