Australian Olympian Simone Pearce has won another S*** Intermediaire A test with the up-and-coming nine-year-old mare Daenerys Targaryen 4 (Desperado x Gribaldi).
The duo scored 73.110% at a national-level show run by Bübinger Hof near the city of Saarbrücken, Saarland in the west of Germany – finishing nearly 6% clear of second place. The three German judges awarded scores of 71.842%, 72.632% and 74.868%.
‘Queen’, as the mare is known at home, has had limited competition outings – having only ever competed at M level prior to her recent outings with Simone. At their first start together earlier this month, the pair won the S*** Intermediaire A in Epfach, Bavaria, with a score of 73.728%.
Owned by fiancé Martin Fuchs, Daenerys Targaryen 4 is one of two horses Simone now has approaching the elite level – the other being nine-year-old gelding Will Marq (Rio Marq x Lanciano).
