Dutch rider Johnny Pals has announced the sale of the 10-year-old stallion Chat Botte du Ruisseau Z (Casall x Darco) to Billy Twomey.
On his Facebook page, Pals writes: "Today my superstar Chat Botte du Ruisseau left our stable. After so many great memories I wish the new rider Billy Twomey lots off luck and we are sure that we will hear a lot about this great new combination."
Together, Pals and Chat Botte du Ruisseau Z were triple clear in this year's CSIO5* Nations Cup of Falsterbo sealing the win for the Netherlands. The pair was also placed 8th in this year's CSIO5* Grand Prix of Rome, second in the CSI5* Audi Prize in Den Bosch as well as winning the CSI2* Grand Prix in Roosendaal in December last year.
