Swedish Grand Prix rider Ulla Håkanson acquired a new FEI horse. She purchased Charming Boy (by Casaretto x Ehrentusch) from Colombian Olympic rider Dr. Cesar Parra. The Westfalian branded Charming Boy competed under Parra
at Prix St Georges level in the States, but was lately in training at Patrik Kittel's barn in Germany to be sold. Håkanson will be showing the 10-year old gelding in the future.
The tidings are also good again for Swedish Grand Prix rider Tinne Vilhelmson. Due to the untimely passing of Just Mickey, Vilhelmson lost her number one Grand Prix horse and had to fall back on the Danish warmblood stallion Solos Carex. One month ago, however, Vilhelmson got a new Grand Prix horse at her disposal: the 10-year old Hanoverian mare Davinio (Davignon x Gardestein). The mare was previously competed at international Grand Prix level by German Christoph Koschel.
