Nadine Capellmann's Oldenburg stallion Rion has been sold abroad. Though the name of the new owner is not mentioned, Capellmann disclosed that a female young rider will make the transition to Grand Prix with him.
"It took me a long time to decide whether to sell Rion or not," Capellmann stated, "but then I decided to focus myself fully on Elvis and Zancor and make more time available for the upcoming horses."
Capellmann purchased the Oldenburg Rion (by Rohdiamant x Futuro x Aktuell) from Mariane Moetefindt in January 2004 and competed him a couple of times in Germany, but did not force an impressive break through on him. Her partner at the time, Martin Schaudt, took over the ride in April 2005, but was unable to score high on the black either. Rion then returned to Capellmann's barn in Wurselen, and got sold last week.
