With Stella-Sofie having taken over the ride on Assenmachers Gentleman, Glückskeks was advertised for sale on Eurodressage Equimarket and has been sold to a pony rider from Westfalia.
"I'm so thankful that he found such a beautiful and loving home," said Mankowski. "I wish him and his new rider much success."
