Pia Luise has lost Abrisca
Because of a brain tumor Abrisca the successful mare of Pia-Luise Aufrecht, German jumping professional, had to be euthanized. The 15 year old brown mare was originally ridden by British Michael Whitacker and since 2003 owned by Pia-Luise.
In 2006 the 31 year old amazone had her greatest success with Abrisca with an 8th place at the Worldcup Final in Kuala Lumpur (Indonesia).
Now Pia-Luise hopes of a foal of her beloved mare from stallion arpeggio which is already bred by embryo-transfer. Pia-Luise said: “I’m absolutely sad about Abrisca’s dead but also sure to made the right decision. Abrisca was my dreamhorse.”
