Danish pony rider Alberte Harsbo said goodbye to her FEI pony as she welcomed a new junior rider's horse into her barn.
Harsbo's FEI pony Mysterie Check WE, an 9-year old Weser Ems pony by Movie Star x FS Cracker Jack, has also been sold as Alberte reached the age limit. She competed the bay internationally for one year. They went to the 2024 CDI's in Sint-Truiden, Aalborg, Hagen, and Leeuwarden.
Mysterie Check sold to Danish Andrea Wttergren Mortensen.
"Mysterie has been an absolute dream to work with throughout the past two years and I can’t believe what we have achieved together," said Alberte. "From a young pony to a Danish national team pony, representing Denmark at Future Champions in Hagen, and be a part of the reserve group for the Europeans."
The Harsbo family acquired the international Young Riders horse Napoli TH, who is a 12-year old Swedish warmblood by Floricello x Flemmingh, bred by Christian Hansson. Owned by Priess Stuteri, the chestnut gelding was competed by Danish Pernille Korsgaard Madsen for one year at international Young Riders level. In 2023 they showed in Le Mans, Aalborg and Hagen.
Napoli T has now been sold to Harsbo as her junior hopeful.
Harsbo began her international show career in 2022 on pony Divino van Stal Romano (by De Vito x Condor). In 2023 she campaigned the pony-size Danish warmblood Walt V (by Welser x Lobster) at FEI pony level, before presenting Mysterie Check in 2024. She trains with Anne Troensegaard.
