Kent Farrington welcomes Kaprice van’t Roosakker

Wellington, October 2016 – At the Hannoveraner auction in Verden, Kent Farrington had acquired a new horse. USA’s showjumper bought Coolio (Catoki x Satisfaction) for no less than 140,000 Euro, the 4-year-old gelding most expensive auctioned. Now the American rider welcomes another new mount in his stables, Kaprice van’t Roosakker.

The 6-year-old Echo van’t Spieveld out of the mare Electra van ‘t Roosakker is in ownership of Stephex CEO, Stephan Conter: “Both Creedance and Gazelle come from our stables. Kaprice has the qualities to make a match with Kent” stated Conter on the trusted partnership between Stephex Stables and Kent Farrington.

Under Dieter Laheyne’s saddle Kaprice jumped to the Belgian Championshipstitle in Gesves earlier this year, and at the FEI World Breeding Championships in Lanaken in September, he qualified for the finals with STX-rider, Lorenzo de Luca.

Kaprice has a top level pedigree: both Echo van ‘t Spieveld as Electra van’t Roosakker have competed at international five-star level, respectively with Niels Bruynseels and Jos Lansink.
