The Danish A-team pony PSW Desperado has been sold to French FEI pony rider Capucine Molliex. The Rhone-Alpes based rider aims to qualify herself for the 2012 European Pony Championships in France.
PSW Desperado is a 13-year old German Riding Pony gelding by Don't Worry out of Domino's Girl. The bright bay gelding has been placed as number one to four at the last five international competitions. He won the freestyle final at the 2010 CDI-P Babenhausen with 74,150 %. He also won the 2010 Ecco Cup Finals and was reserve champion at the 2011 Ecco Cup Finals in Denmark, a special show circuit for FEI ponies.
Molliex previously competed ponies Capriluna and Milord de Bedou. PSW Desperado was advertised for sale in Eurodressage's Equimarket.
French Pony Dressage seems to be florishing this year as yet another top scoring FEI dressage pony has moved to France and will be campaigned at FEI pony level this year. Recently the top pony Tim was acquired by Caroline Faujour and Clarissa Stickland now has a third FEI pony at her disposal, the Canadian owned Capuccino Tyme, which was shipped from Florida to France a few weeks ago. Morgane Euriat has received the ride on Stickland's Dutch schoolmaster and former European Championship Dutch team pony Just You 'N Me.
French pony riders are meeting up for a first very important selection show at Jably, France, on easter weekend. The event counts as a qualifier for the CDIO-P Saumur.
