Danish Olympian Daniel Bachmann Andersen has welcomed a new young horse into his barn, Farringhton, from Norcordia.
Farringhton is a 5-year old Hanoverian gelding by Furst Samarant out of Trakehner mare Pilain (by Rheinklang x Latimer). He is bred by Marion Sage and was owned by NorCordia.

Danish Start
Sourced by Casey Nilsson for Norcordia, Farringhton began his sport career in Denmark as a 4-year old.
Anne Marie Hosbond, who collaborates closely with NorCordia at Randbøl Academy, then took over Farringhton. In their first competition together, they won the 5-year-old qualification at Vilhelmsborg, impressing judges with a score of 88.8%.

Farringhton has now moved into the stable of Daniel Bachmann Andersen after having been sold to a new owner.
"I look forward to building on the strong foundation laid by renowned riders like Ida Bjørn, Cathrine Laudrup-Dufour, and most recently Anne Marie Hosbond," said Daniel. "It’s a pleasure to take over a horse that has clearly received proper basic training and the time to develop. I am very excited to continue Farringhton’s education in close collaboration with the horse's new owner."
"We are incredibly pleased that a rider of Daniel's caliber is taking over the reins, and we look forward to following their progress in the future. We wish both the rider and the new owner the best of luck," said NorCordia's CEO, Ulrik Clemmensen.
