Sheik Ali Al Thani's top horse Vienna Olympic will get company from her daughter Toulini Olympic at Stal Tops, Netherlands. The 5-year-old Toulini Olympic is by the stallion Toulouse and out of Vienna Olympic, the 12-year-old mare that Al Thani competed at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Normandy.
On their Facebook page, Absolute Horses – Andreas and Christian Schou's Danish trading and competition stables –announces the sale to Stal Tops and thank Toulini Olympic's Swedish rider Annika Axelsson for the collaboration leading up to the purchase.
"Toulini Olympic is a very special horse for me," Axelsson says to World of Showjumping. "I had her since she was 3-years-old and I always believed a lot in her. I think her future is very bright and I'm looking forward to following her. Toulini Olympic is super careful with a great mentality and just keeps getting better and better. I believe she will be one for the big sport in the future."
