Australia’s Simone Pearce has moved to Gestüt Bonhomme after five years at Gestüt Sprehe where she competed the stallion Destano at the Tokyo Olympics.
Simone, 30 years old, is entered in this weekend’s CDI3* event at Olomouc in the Czech Republic on Fiderdance, the 13-year-old Oldenburg stallion that Germany’s Lena Waldman competed at Grand Prix for Bonhomme over the past two years. The news was first reported by the Austrian equestrian news site EQWO.net.
Albert Sprehe posted a brief statement: “Our longtime dressage rider Simone Pearce will leave Gestüt Sprehe soon. We wish her all the best for the future.”
Simone made her mark in Europe competing horses for Helgstrand Dressage at World Young Horse Championships 2015 through 2017.
Lena Waldmann left Bonhomme after five years to set up her own training and competition facility. Bonhomme is near Potsdam, about an hour southwest of Berlin.
