Onischenko’s Shopping Tour Continues – this time … Coolboy

The Ukrainian billionaire Alesandre Onischenko has acquired another top horse: the 9-year-old gelding Coolboy (sire: Come on). Coolboy and the Swiss jumper Manuel Eugster won the Grand Prix of the CSI*** Arezzo (Toscana Tour) last month.

It has not been stated who will be the new rider for Coolboy. During the last few months Onischenko bought a great number of horses for himself and for his jockeys. Casio Rivetti, Kathi Offel and Björn Nagel are presently riding Onischenko’s mounts – just to name a few. One of his aims is to build up a competitive Ukrainian team for the 2012 London Olympics. Onischenko might be one rider of the team, as he is currently instructed by Kathi Offel.
