They competed at six events in the L-level dressage horse test and won two (Scheessel and Grossenkneten). He did not compete at the Bundeschampionate.
San Riant has now been sold by Gerd Sosath to American Jeanne VanNuys, who is based in Harrisburg, PA.
"I am very excited about our future together. San Riant is the epitome of the dreamy black stallion: stunningly gorgeous,
very amateur friendly, and exquisitely athletic," said VanNuys. "Let the journey begin."
