MILANO DE FLORE
Milano de Flore’s debut in the top category of jumping events (1.50mts) is very recent indeed, dating back to April this year. In this short period, Ricardo Dircie and Milano de Flore achieved impressive top-10 finishes in the first three events, including the prestigious Sol de Mayo Gran Prix that took place in mid May.
The rider and horse have continued to perform at an impressive pace, with a 2nd place finish at the 1.50 mts event at the CAE (Club Aleman de Equitacion) on July 26th, and a 5th place finish in June at the same venue. The first weekend of August, Ricardo and Milano travelled to Cordoba to compete at the Cordoba Gran Prix where they secured a great 5th place finish.

TATABRA NUTELLA
This chestnut mare by Dimitil de Terlong has been competing in second división with the ride of her owner - Heber Tobar for the past 12 months. She has the heart of a champion, and has shown incredible stamina, always competing against more experienced horses.
Heber decided to initiate her in the top category this past weekend, competing in the Cordoba Grand Prix. The perfect combination of a passionate rider and a courageous horse led to an impressive 9th place finish in their debut at the top category.
Our congratulations to Heber and Tatabra Nutella and may this be the start of many successes!
