Dressage

U.S.A.

Natalie Pai has acquired the 13-year old Oldenburg Grand Prix stallion Mister-C, who was previously competed by Csaba Szokola, Dorothee Schneider, and Daniel Bachmann.

Mister-C is by Quaterback out of Rosslyn C (by Raphael x Gambler x Landgard)

Hungary

He is bred and was owned by Hungarian Dr. Gabor Komlosy's German company Castilia GmbH.

The bay stallion was produced to FEI level in Hungary and made his international show debut under Csaba Szokola in the small tour at the 2018 CDI Ermelo, where they scored 67% in the Prix St. Georges and Inter I Kur. Ermelo was Mister-C's only CDI so far. The pair had also shown at national events in Weikersdorf and Munich that year

Dorothee Schneider

In 2019 the stallion was moved into training with Dorothee Schneider in Germany, who made her show debut in the Intermediaire II at the regional show in Heroldsberg in June of that year.

Dorothee was on board to pilot the stallion at the 2019 Louisdor Cup Finals in Frankfurt, where they were 10th in the warm-up test but retired from the Grand Prix as the horse was unsettled in the piaffe.

Schneider alternated the ride with her assistant, Hannah Milena Rother through 2021. He had more than one year break from showing between July 2020 and his come back in October 2021 in Reutlingen.

Later in October 2021 Mister-C was sent to Daniel Bachmann's barn in Denmark to be further confirmed at Grand Prix level and sold. Bachmann competed him once at the local show in Randers on 5 February 2022, winning the Grand Prix with 76.00%.

American Under 25 rider Natalie Pai has now acquired the 13-year old stallion as a Grand Prix schoolmaster.

Pai trains with American Olympian Adrienne Lyle. She competed at the 2014 North American Junior Riders Championships with Way Not (by Wie Weltmeyer x Gaston) and won individual gold at the 2015 North American Young Riders Championships with Fritz San Tino (by Falkenstern II x Wanderbusch II). In 2017 she made the transition to Under 25 level on the schoolmaster Unlimited (by Jazz), which she rode through 2019.

In 2020 Pai acquired the now 14-year old Selle Français mare Utopie d'Ouilly (by Quite Easy x Narcos II) and campaigned her at Under 25 level through 2021. They scratched from their first national show in 2022.

Natalie, whose commutes between Virginia and Wellington, has been competing younger horses Donna Valentina (by Don Schufro x Stedinger) and Inspiration PF (by Everdale x Calido I) at national Fourth level in Wellington this winter.
