Sophie Reef Loses Young Riders Horse Genua TC Fri, 12/18/2020 - 12:13
Germany
Just three days before it was announced that Sophie Reef was submitted to the German young riders B-squad, her horse Genua TC passed away.
Genua TC was a 9-year old Dutch warmblood gelding by Charmeur out of Toulouse (by Jazz x Ulft). He was bred by Stephan Haarman.
WCYH Participant
The chestnut was scouted by horse dealer Tim Coomans and first competed, as a stallion, by Roos van Schaik.
Van Schaik and Genua placed third in the 2015 VSN Trophy Finals and third in the 2015 Horsefood Dressage Talent Competition.
In 2015 Genua TC was part of the Excellent Dressage Sales collection and sold for 170,000 euro to Dutch based Turkish rider Lina Uzunhasan. She, however, returned the horse to previous owner Tim Coomans shortly after the auction.
