December 8, 2004
The
7-year old KWPN licensed stallion Paganini has been sold
to Cheryl Meisner of Canada. Bred by H.A. Verberne from
Vlierden, The Netherlands, owned by Jo Rutten and
trained by Bert Rutten, Paganini has been trained to
Grand Prix level. "He [Paganini] was a horse that I
would ride on my day off, on Sundays, just for fun,"
Bert Rutten told journalist Claartje van Andel.
Paganini (Havidoff x Statuar x Galopin) was licensed
in 2003 after being accepted upon jury appeal.
Paganini's offspring keuring report stated: "Paganini
showed a uniform group ample developed foals who are
sufficient to more than sufficient riding type...
Cheryl Meisner is a young Canadian rider, trained by
Canadian Grand Prix team member Shannon Dueck. Dueck has
been a long time client and student of Bert Rutten and
has been on several training trips in Holland together
with Meisner.
Paganini will be competing in Florida during the 2005
Dressage in Florida show season and will then return to
the Netherlands where he and Meisner will be working on
the European small tour debut.
Paganini will no longer be available for stud as the
horse will be focused on a dressage career. Meisner will
also be competing her horses Lucky Lloyd, Lucky Strike
and Chimon in North America.
