“Young horses keep the dream alive”

 

Anna Lena Schaaf's Lagona OLD pulled off a rare double, winning back to back FEI WBFSH Eventing World Breeding Championships at Le Mondial Du Lion 2022.

This is just the fourth time that the double that has been done (with Nicolas Touzaint, third this year on Fibonacci De Lessac HDC, having achieved it twice and Tom Carlile once) and it was also the first time that a mare has achieved the feat

"I think I'm the luckiest girl here" says Anna Lena, who won this year's Seven-Year-Old Championship on Lagonda OLD "I don't have any words for this horse, she is such a fighter and really wants to do her best.

France’s Tom Carlile has once again won Le Mondial du Lion, this time taking the Six-Year-Old Championship with the Anglo Arab mare Golden De Beliard AA

It may have been a few years since Tom won in 2013 and 2014 but the young horses play a very special part in his career by 'keeping the dream alive'
