Six-year old dressage horses Simply Nymphenburg and Borett have been sold to the United States. With the help of sponsors Michael and Sarah Davis, U.S. Pan Am team gold medal winning rider Dr. Cesar Parra secured his follow-up of international calibre horses.

As Cesar's Pan Am horse Grandioso and rising small tour star ride Federleicht sold to Glock Horse Performance Centre in Austria in December 2011, the Colombian born American immediately filled up his two empty stalls with two brand new rising stars, which he discovered in Germany and The Netherlands on a trip during the Chrismas holidays.

Cesar brought the Bundeschampionate bronze medallist Simply Nymphenburg and the Pavo Cup Finallist Borett to the U.S.A. Simply Nymphenburg is a rising 6-year old Hanoverian gelding (by Sir Donnerhall I x Weltmeyer) which finished third at the 2011 Bundeschampionate in the 5-year old division. Borett is a rising 6-year old Dutch wamblood gelding (by Florett As x Junior) which placed 10th at the 2011 Pavo Cup Finals under former World Young Horse Champion rider Miranda Rongen.

"The sky is the limit with these two new young horses," said Parra. "For my taste, these are two of the best young horses I have ever seen and they are surely two of the best horses I have ever had in my career. I am really excited and very curious to see the results that our training will have upon them. It is certainly an exquisite collection right now, with these new ones as well as Lindner and Van the Man in the barn. I am really looking forward going to the shows with horses of this caliber, and with horses of this quality in our stable I am confident that we will always have special FEI horses for sale in the future."

In December 2011 the Davis family also acquired Cesar's 2012 Olympic hopeful Van the Man (by Obelisk).
