“Big Star is the most impressive horse that I have ever had. He brought home gold medals from the Olympic Games in London and in Rio. The only thing this horse has never done is let me down," says the British rider Nick Skelton of his horse, Big Star. With Burberry by Big Star - Cornet Obolensky - Baloubet du Rouet, Cat. No. 11, and Big Time by Big Star - Quality Time - Caretino, Cat. No. 12, the Olympic champion is sending two shining bearers of hope to the Elite Foal Auction on Saturday, August 25th in Vechta.
“That was what made him so good – at the right moment, when it was time to do something special, he was always motivated to give his best. He’s just unbelievable, he jumps with genuine enthusiasm,” raved the Swedish rider Rolf-Göran Bengtsson about his partner of many years, Casall. With Cat. No. 14 Camelita by Casall - Werther - Achill-Libero H, the Grand Prix winner provides a real highlight in Vechta. His dam, Wertherröschen, herself a successful 1.60 m jumper under Billy Twomey and Anthony Condon, is also dam to no less than star sire Stakkato Gold, successful in 1.50 m jumping under Jan Sprehe.
Other international top stallions like Quabri d L’Isle, Halifax van het Kluizebos, Cornet Obolensky, Comme il faut, and Emerald van’t Ruytershof present their foals on Saturday, August 25th at the Oldenburg Horse Center Vechta.
