Jessica and Benjamin Werndl have sold their internationally competed small tour horse Havanna to Ashley Holzer's student Diane Fellows from the U.S.A.

Havanna is a 9-year old Hanoverian mare bred by Walter Robert. She is sired by Hochadel out of Riviera (by Rodgau). The Werndl family acquired the mare as a 4-year old. The Werndl siblings trained the horse up to schooling Grand Prix level.

Benjamin started the competition career of Havanna in 2012 in national A-level classes. He first competed her internationally in the 6-year old young horse class at the 2013 CDI Vidauban, where he placed third (72.40) and sixth (69.40). In 2015 Jessica von Bredow-Werndl took over the competition ride and showed Havanna at four internationals in Stadl Paura, Fritzens, Lamprechtshausen and Kaposvar.

Benjamin was back on board in 2016 and rode the mare in national small and medium tour classes. Havanna did her first real Grand Prix competition test in Hidegseg, Hungary in July.

According to Jessica Werndl, Ashley Holzer will take over the ride.
