Noble Casper to Luxembourg

The 13 year old FEI dressage pony and former European dressage pony Champion Noble Casper has moved to Luxembourg. Casper rose to European pony stardom under his owner and rider Delphine Meiresonne within three years time.

Casper came into the possession of the Meiresonne's as trainer Coby van Baalen recommended him. Mother Christine and daughter Delphine were immediately taken in by the little bay dancer and purchased him pronto. From the beginning of their show career, Delphine Meiresonne and Casper became Belgium's number one pony combination. In 1997 they won the national championship and were able to finish twelfth at the European pony Championships in Hartpury, England. In 1998 the combination reached an apex by winning the European Championships in Le Touquet, France, and they prolonged their national title. In 1999 Delphine shifted into fourth position at the Euro-championships in Stromsholm, Sweden, and won their third consecutive Belgian Championships' title.

"Casper received a sixth month rest period, but was always kept in training," Christine Meiresonne said. "We took all the time possible to find a nice pony rider who can enjoy Casper as much as we did. It is with pain in our heart that we see him leave for Luxembourg." Casper will now be trained by the twelve year old daughter of the Henschen family. The Henschens came in contact with Noble Casper through the brokerage of Astrid Appels and her website www.junior-riders.com
