Blue Hors Cavan For Sale
Blue
Hors Stud is selling its most successful dressage horse,
Blue Hors Cavan. The licensed stallion, who was gelded
last year due to a testicle hernia, has recently won
the CDI Stuttgart and CDI Stockholm and is ranked third
in the BCM/FEI Dressage Rankings. Cavan's steady rider
Lars Petersen is moving to the United States and Blue
Hors considered it best that his mount would be sold.
Cavan is a Hanoverian bred stallion by Cavalier and
rose to stardom on the international dressage scene
in 1998. At the World Equestrian Games in Rome, Cavan
excelled with the Danish Petersen and the pair was considered
to be the most promising combination for the future.
Petersen and Cavan fulfilled their role as dream duo
as they came to win numerous World Cup competitions.
They participated in the European and World Championships,
but had to cancel their entry for the 2000 Olympic Games
due to that hernia. Cavan used to be trained by Rudolf
Zeilinger but is currently in training with Norbert
van Laak, in Germany. Cavan's sale price is rumoured
to be astronomical.
All this considered, it is worth mentioning that Blue
Hors Stud itself reports that Petersen will be taking
Cavan to the United States and continue to ride him
in order to qualify for the Danish team for the 2002
World Equestrian Games in Spain. What will happen after
Spain has not yet been arranged. The sale of the horse
is a very likely to happen.
