In 2023 Lotta Plaas took over the ride and competed the pony at national FEI pony level. She won the Westfalian regional championships.
This year Lilli von Helldorff competed the pony and made his international show debut with him. They did two CDI's: In Tolbert he won the Kur to Music and at the CDI-P Hagen he placed between 3rd and 15th.
