This time, the Holsteiner of the Month is an eventing horse. Specifically, the Livello-Calido I daughter Lillet, bred by Morena Petersen from Ahrenviöl. At her very first four-star level start, the just eight-year-old mare immediately secured a victory with Andreas Dibowski in Kristianstad, Sweden, at the beginning of April.

The mare is still young, but her list of successes is already long: at the end of 2020, Lillet, who originates from the famous Holsteiner line 776, moved to Andreas Dibowski via the Holsteiner Elite Riding Horse Auction, and in 2021 she galloped to the title of Federal Champion of five-year-old eventing horses in Warendorf with dream scores. A year later, she won silver at this same venue, followed by her first international placings and now the four-star breakthrough in Sweden. "I am very proud of the mare, who at such a young age has already done an outstanding job in Kristianstad," Dibowski was delighted with his training success.
A look into Lillet's pedigree reveals that the Holsteiner mare has a one year younger half-sister, Greta by Great Blue (by Plot Blue), who has also gained initial international experience in eventing. In addition, her grandam, Gudine by Zarewitsch xx, produced the 1.60-metre show jumper Catando Lyngriis by Cassini II (Daniel Bluman/SRI).
