After quitting riding for Alexander Onischenko and Ukraine, Katharina Offel has welcomed several new horses to her team – from both existing and new owners.
The new arrivals include Patrick de Roeck’s 9-year-old mare Benfica van Vlieringen (Cento Lano x Lys de Darmen) that previously was seen under Gregory Wathelet and Damien Plume, Maria Rosaria Marzotto’s Z Canturana (Canturo x Calato) and Coriandolo (Corrado I x Lansing), as well as the 11-year-old mare High Voltage SB (Quaprice Bois Margoit Quincy x Cortus) that used to have David Will in the saddle. High Voltage SB is owned by Shadi Banki, who already supports Offel with Sky Fly SB.
On her website, Offel writes that she plans to start the horses up at the Sunshine Tour and Z-Tour.
