With London 2012 looming and a deadline of 31/12/2011 for eligible ownership, the decks have been shuffled to ensure that riders have some of the best horses available to them for the big event. Here are a few that have been changing hands in recent times;
- Latina 43 ridden by Lucinda Fredericks who finished 7th at the 8/9 year old CIC*** class at Blenheim, 16th at Boekelo at their first attempt at CCI*** and was on the EA National Futures Squad, has been sold to the Japanese eventing team
- 10 year old showjumping mare, Ciske van Overis, originally competed by British rider Guy Williams before Edwina Tops-Alexander took over in 2010, is now with Rodrigo Pessoa
- Stuart Tinney’s WEG 2010 mount Vettori and 3 Star horse Watermark Grayson sold to Italy
- Heath Ryan’s 3 Star eventer Mystery Whisper sold to clients of ex-Aussie Phillip Dutton, who will ride the horse in the US eventing team trials for London
- Shane Rose’s talented thoroughbred Il Vici who recently started his 3 Star eventing career with great success has also been sold to the US
In this summary video by Peter Haynes, we see Heath and Mystery Whisper during their great win at the Sydney International 3 Day Event in 2010 where Heath predicts at the end that he may have found a gold medal winning horse
