Belgian showjumper Qonquest de Rigo gets a new owner
The well-known Belgian showjumper and the horse Qonquest de Rigo are parting ways. The ten-year-old gelding, which was bred in Belgium (BWP), will no longer be ridden by top Irish rider Bertram Allen. This news was announced in the equestrian world this week.
Qonquest de Rigo is a successful horse that has performed at the highest level. He is sired by the famous stallion Fantomas de Muze. The gelding has made a great impression in recent years during international Grand Prix competitions under Allen's saddle.
It is not yet officially known who the new rider or owner of the horse will be. However, in equestrian sports, it is common for successful horses of this level to be sold to other top riders or investors. The sale of Belgian sport horses is an important sector for the Belgian economy.
The sporting career of Qonquest de Rigo is closely followed by many enthusiasts. It remains to be seen at which international competition the horse will first appear with its new rider. For now, fans of Belgian breeding are left to guess the next step for this talented animal.
