Simone Pearce rides Cristall 8 to Grand Prix victory

Australian dressage star Simone Pearce has another Big Tour horse in her stable, with 12-year-old stallion Cristall 8. The pair won a Kl. S*** (German national Grand Prix class) earlier this month with a score of 71.744%, despite an error of course.

“It was only our second show together but he already showed a big improvement in the ring. We have spent time over the winter getting to know each other and master all the movements together and we were able to produce a pretty smooth and harmonious test in general so I’m very happy – now to get routine and take our test riding to that next level,” said Simone via social media.

Cristall is by the Gestüt Sprehe stallion Christ, out of a Fürst Heinrich mare and is owned by Gestüt Sprehe. We look forward to following his progress with Simone in the saddle!
