WELLINGTON - Cat Ninja (by Zirocco Blue x Corland) and Jacqueline Steffens (CAN) have achieved a nice second place in the Grand Prix of Wellington. Firefly (by Wittinger x Corland) and Sergio Nieto del Rio (MEX) finished eighth.
In the $ 50,000,- 1.50m National Grand Prix over 1.50m, Harvester (by Dakar x Indorado) finished seventh under Erynn Ballard (CAN).
The Grand Prix over 1.60m also resulted in seventh place for Dsarie (by Veron x Ahorn), ridden by Beat Mändli (SUI).

Cat Ninja is experiencing an extremely successful competition season in the USA. For example, the mare under Steffens recently finished sixth in the Grand Prix of Columbus - Johnstown. In an earlier Grand Prix competition in Wellington, the combination finished eighth. We also regularly saw the Cat Ninja at the top of the results in 1.45m competitions in Wellington. Last year, the now thirteen-year-old mare was successfully shown at Jumping Amsterdam by the American rider Andrew Kocher.
