The 14-year old Holsteiner Grand Prix horse Capo has been sold to German junior rider Laura Stuhldreier.
Capo is by Cracker Jack out of K-Rose (by Alcatraz). He is bred by Peter Nagel-Tornau and was owned by Claudia Kohl.
He was first competed by Vanessa Siep and made it to the 2011 Bundeschampionate.
In 2012 Finnish Grand Prix rider Emma Kanerva took over the ride and brought him to small tour level. In 2014 they went to the CDI in Perl and she competed him in the 2014 Nurnberger Burgpokal Final for Developing PSG Horses in Frankfurt, where they finished 11th. In 2015 Emma showed at the CDI Hagen and then kept the big bay at national level and prepared him for Grand Prix.
The horse disappeared from the scene for two years to reappear under Fabienne Lutkemeier in 2017. They first showed in Bielefeld and in August 2017 they did their first classic Grand Prix test in Schenefeld. The pair rode at the 2018 CDI Aachen Dressage Days, where they were 20th.
In the spring of 2019 the horse switched riders again and got Katharina Hemmer on his back. She rode him at the Stuttgart German Masters amongst other regional shows that year.
Capo has now been sold to the Stuhldreier family. The 17-year old Laura is a seasoned pony rider having competed at FEI pony level between 2016 and 2018 on ponies Tesio and Chantre. In 2019 she made the transition to junior level with Diabolo Nymphenburg and Damon's Pauly.
Stuhldreier's last international was the CDI Deauville in July 2019.
