Klimke's incredible 2001-2002 break through on the dressage
scene has come to an end. The owners of her horse, the
Australian Christine Doan and an Australian couple who
have been Doan's supporters for many years now, have
sold Nector van het Carelshof to Fiona Bigwood.
Nector van het Carelshof is a 12-year old Belgian warmblood
gelding by Randel Z and made his international breakthrough
at the 1999 CDI Arnhem, The Netherlands. There, Christine
Mary Doan rode Nector herself. The bay gelding has been
trained by Jan Dupont, Michael Klimke and finally Ingrid
Klimke before reaching ultimate fame on the scene. The
highly temperamental Nector reigned surpreme in the
CDI-W Berlin and later on at the CDI Stuttgart.
There were many rumours going round that Nector van
het Carelshof would be sold and that Klimke would lose
the rider if she did not financially secure the horse
for herself. It was finally the British Fiona Bigwood
who showed the money for this superb horse. Bigwood
now has two Grand Prix horse, Nector and Afrikka. Bigwood,
a British native living in Germany, trains with Dieter
Laugks at Römerhof in Mettmann, Germany. The rumoured
price for the horse is more than half a million euros.
