After four times World Champion IJsbrand Chardon bought three Lipizzaner horses from the indoor team of Jozsef Dobrovitz last November, he was searching for the perfect number four to complete his grey four-in-hand. Chardon finally found the right horse.
The 12-year-old gelding Inci, half brother of Illem, completes Chardon’s Lipizzaner indoor team. Jozsef Dobrovitz has once again sold his best horse to the multiple Dutch Champion. “I am very happy with this horse,” says Chardon. “A few months ago it was impossible to discuss Inci’s sale, but ‘Dobro’ changed his mind. It is one of his best horses which he also uses in his outdoor team.”
Chardon will take the gelding to the FEI World Cup Driving Final in Geneva as spare horse. “It is a very promising horse and he can go in the lead and in the wheel. Laszlo Juhasz used Inci in all three phases of the World Championship in Beesd 2008 so he is automatically qualified for the World Championship in Kentucky. Who knows what I am going to use Inci for!” says a smiling Chardon.
