Why did Rodrigo withdraw?

The Brazilian team is now down to three; O de Pommes was spun out in the vet check and Rodrigo withdrew. Problems with Baloubet? Does anyone know more?

Said Rodrigo.

Thank you for sharing that. How very sad, especially as this was going to be one of his last outings in the show ring.

How old is Baloubet? I recall he is 17 or so! Too bad for Rodrigo!

I think 17 is right. There was a big interview with him in De Hoefslag either last month or in June, re how he’d only be doing a few shows after WEG and then the horse would be going to stud full time.

His stud fee is 2500 Euros, and the interviewer commented that it was a lot of money. Guess they didn’t check out fees here for untried stallions! :lol:

Wow, not a bad stud fee, actually!
