The 9-year-old mare Dallas Vegas Batilly (Cap Kennedy 2 x L'Arc de Triomphe), that for the last two years has been competing with French rider Nicolas Delmotte, has been sold and will in the future be seen with Great Britain's Olympic Champion Ben Maher.
"We are very satisfied to have been able to sell this mare – who started to show all her potential this year – to Olympic Champion Ben Maher," Laurent Guillet – the co-owner of Dallas Vegas Batilly – comments to World of Showjumping. "We wish him the best for the future."
With Delmotte in the saddle, Dallas Vegas Batilly has been placed multiple times at the highest level of the sport, including a fourth place finish in the CSIO5* 1.60m RWE Prize of North Rhine-Westphalia at CHIO Aachen this summer. The pair also won a CSI3* 1.50m class in Grimaud back in April, and a CSI2* 1.45m at the same venue the year before.
