Anky van Grunsven's fourth Grand Prix horse is sold. The nine year old KWPN Dutch warmblood gelding by Beaujolais has been competing under Anky van Grunsven for two years.
The combination entered the show ring at Prix St. George level in 1997. They won several national and smaller international competitions with scores round 68% to 70%. In 1998 Gestion Gere competed at Grand Prix level but he was very inexperienced and the piaffe-passage needed improvement. But it was especially his height (18.0 hh) and large gaits which slowed down Gere's learning process.
Toshihiko Kiso from Japan will be working with the chestnut gelding in the future. Anky van Grunsven felt sad to see Gere move to Asia, but her stable is still filled with other Grand Prix stars like Bonfire, Partout and Cocktail
