Tiffany Foster has announced that as of June 26th, Donjo (Zirocco Blue VDL x Rutricia) will be her official ride, thanks to a partnership with Ariel Grange and Lothlorien Farm. The 10-year-old chestnut KWPN gelding, which Foster has been campaigning since March, was formerly ridden by Cian Oโ€™Connor (IRL). Prior to that, he was ridden by Tobias Meyer (GER) and got his start as a five-year-old owned by Slovakian interests and ridden by Juraj Hanulay. The horse will now represent the Canadian flag and has already achieved a qualifying score with Foster for WEG Tryon at La Baule in May.

Foster commented on her Little Creek Equestrian Facebook page:

โ€œI am very happy to say that Donjo has been secured for me to ride and represent Canada by Ariel Grange and Lothlorien! One big orange horse and two Canadian girls โ€’ sounds like a perfect combination! Big thanks to @cianoconnorofficial for the opportunity to ride this wonderful horse!โ€
