WCYH Silver Medal Winner Sultan des Paluds Sold to Annabella Pidgley Wed, 03/03/2021 - 13:35

Sultan des Paluds, the silver medal winner at the 2017 World Young Horse Championships, has been sold to British junior rider Annabella Pidgley.
Sultan des Paluds is an 11-year old French bred Hanoverian by Soliman de Hus out of Wanja (by De Niro). He is bred by Pablo Bouillot.
French Start
Born and reared at Bouillot s Haras des Paluds in France, Sultan was first competed in France by Isabelle Pinto.
The pair made its show debut in the 4-year old tests at the national in Cluny in July 2014, winning both tests. They also competed in Vidauban that year as well as at the 2014 French Young Horse Championships where they won silver.
A personal best score earned Canada’s Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu and All In last week’s World Cup victory at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival (GDF) in Wellington.
Brittany and the 16-year-old Tango son claimed the grand prix with 73.7% – “probably our best grand prix to date” – before topping the grand prix freestyle, presented by Helgstrand Dressage, with 79.33%.
The 2021 GDF has marked the pair’s first international appearence since September 2019, and Brittany admitted she was “a little nervous” ahead of competing on the Wellington dressage circuit.
“All In has come out this season and really proven that he knows his job so well,” she said. “He tries his heart out for me every time we go down the centre line, and I just have to hang on for the ride. I’m ecstatic with him.”

Coming into the Global International Arena as the final combination of the day, Fraser-Beaulieu and the 2005 KWPN gelding by Tango, owned by Brittany Fraser and Marc-Andre Beaulieu, climbed to the top of the leaderboard with a final percentage of 73.696.
“I feel really relieved that we had such a good test today,” began Fraser-Beaulieu. “To be honest, I think this was probably our best Grand Prix to date. He was really on the aids and totally focused. Last year I started cutting my warmup to 15 minutes because he’s so big. I take him out and stretch him in the morning and then have a very short warmup. It’s working for us so far, and today he stayed totally with me through the whole rid
