Shakeela, a finalist at the 2024 World Championships for young dressage horses, has a new rider. Breeder and owner Wilfried Putz sold to horse to the same family as his Belinda FRH.
Shakeela is a 7-year old Hanoverian mare by Secret out of Red Roberta (by Royal Blend x Don Frederico x Singular Joter).
Lydia Jordan
The mare's competition career began when she was four in 2022 under German based Swedish rider Lydia Jordan. She produced her up the levels until her sale.
Their first big spotlight event was riding at the 2023 Hanoverian Young Horse Championships in Verden, where she won the L-level test. At the 2023 Bundeschampionate in Warendorf the pair finished 19th in the 5-year old dressage horse finals.
In 2024 they headed to the World Championships for young dressage horses in Ermelo, where they finished 8th in the 6-year old finals with 82.00 points.
Kohoutek Family
In June 2024 the Kohoutek family purchased the WCYH finalist Belinda FRH which was also bred by Putz. Mom Christine Berghaus now added Shakeela to their line-up.
While Belinda was allocated to junior rider Clara Kohoutek, Shakeela is intended for her younger sister Laura, who has been competing former German team pony Der Kleine Sunnyboy.
