At their very first start at this level, Lillet and Andreas Dibowski recorded a victory in the four-star class in Kristianstad, Sweden! The mare is only eight years old, but her list of successes is already long: at the end of 2020, Lillet by Livello-Calido I (Morena Petersen, Ahrenviöl), stem 776, moved to Andreas Dibowski via the Holsteiner Elite Riding Horse Auction, and in 2021 she galloped to the title of Bundeschampionesse of five-year-old eventing horses with dream scores in Warendorf. A year later, she won silver at the same venue, followed by her first international placings and now her four-star breakthrough in Sweden. "I am very proud of the mare, who at such a young age has already done an outstanding job here," Dibowski was delighted about his training success. Cash in Hugo by Cyrkon xx-Lennon (Norbert Clausen, Borgsum), stem 504, and Åsa Alsterlund (SWE) finished sixth in this class, which was held at four-star level by the organiser for the first time. "A fair course where the horses can learn something," Dibowski expressed his appreciation.
Florida N is the name of a Clarimo-Lavall II daughter bred by Gisela Neuhaus (Kalbe), stem 8919, who jumped to the silver position in a 1.45-metre course in Wellington (USA). She was ridden by American Mia Bagnato. At this competition, Vintage by Verdi-Acodetto I (ZG von Dörnberg/v. Malaise, Damp), stem 242, placed third in a 1.50-metre show jumping class, presented by Juan Ortiz (VEN). Finishing highly placed, namely in fourth position, Lissino completed a competition over 1.45 metres with Darragh Kerins (IRL). The stallion by Limbus-Cassini I was bred by Günter Brockstedt (Langwedel) and represents stem 456.
