Katharina Offel to ride Sanctos van het Gravenhof

German jumper Katharina Offel, who rides for the Ukraine, will start the new season 2011 with a newly acquired horse.

The Ukrainian businessman Alexander Onischenko bought the 9-year-old Sanctos van het Gravenhof which had been ridden by Peter Wylde last season. Peter Wylde had claimed victory of the Oldenburg Grand Prix with Sanctos (sire of Quasimodo van de Molendreef).

It is worth mentioning that Sanctos had been placed among the top four during the last six Grand Prix jumping competitions.
