I am very much looking forward to developing and working with this super talented gelding towards the Grand Prix.
His name is Vejledals Baron - gelding 8yrs. Valverde / Don Schufro. Currently at medium level.
BOOM WINS IN SYDNEY
May 2026
Champion 5 year old Sydney CDI 2026 and qualified for the World young horse championships!
Jess Dertell, you did an amazing job piloting Benno to success - you are a true talent.
It is not easy trusting anyone to ride your horses whilst away overseas but this has been a great experience and I appreciate your efforts in such a professional presentation with only 3 weeks to get to know each other.
A credit to you and of course Benno and I see great promise in the future in collaboration.
Super proud of my young special horse performing admirably, consistently giving the overseas test rider such a lovely honest ride and her comments, "I will take this one home".
Not the first time someone has said this to me!
Special thanks really also must go to Rohan Luxmoore, Gisborne vet clinic for scoping and investigating Benno who had asthma coughing attacks, which stopped him competing at DJWTS.
Rohan found the problem and treated him accordingly, with great results - thank you.
Congratulations to Toni Venhaus and all that helped to run this special event.
