German equestrian magazine St Georg reported that Nadine Capellmann's Grand Prix horse Raffaldo has been sold to Austrian based Stable Zach. The 12-year old Danish warmblood gelding by Come Back II x Raffaeli Z will have a new future with an unnamed rider.
Capellmann acquired "Riverbanks Raffaldo" in 2008 through Jochen Arl. The Finnish owned liver chestnut appealed to Nadine as a second Grand Prix horse to Elvis VA. The combination was successful at small tour and big tour level but never reached the top.
Capellmann has now decided to sell the gelding. "I want to focus myself fully on Elvis, who gives me a lot of pleasure at the moment," said Capellmann. "Of course I have Girasol with whom I hope to ride the standard Grand Prix tests soon."
