Niack de L'Abbaye Sold to Ukraine

Niack de L'Abbaye and James Paterson-Robinson and owned by Ger Poels Horses represented Australia at the 2010 World Equestrian Games (team 7^th), 2010 Lummen CSIO4*- Nations’ Cup where the team placed 2^nd also in 2010 the combination won the 2010 Geesteren Grand Prix CSI4*. At the 2011 Nations’ Cup in Wellington, Florida, James and Niack jumped one of only two double clear rounds (the other was McLain Ward on Sapphire).

Unfortunately, Australia has now lost three of its top team jumping horses in the past 12 months, (Ashleigh Drossel Dan, Vivant and Niack de L’Abbaye).

New Zealand also lost their star performer this week with Katie McVean selling her show jumping mare Dunstan Delphi.

Hopefullly, James can find himself another horse before next year's the selection events!
