American eventer Phillip Dutton has announced a new addition to his string of horses. In a post online, he said he is excited to welcome California d’Horset, a coming seven-year-old Selle Francais mare (Soliman X Palm Beach d’Horset, by Trophee du Rozel), produced by Yannick Dirou.
California d’Horset won the six-year-old French Championships at Pompadour in 2018, in addition to placing fifth in the FEI World Breeding Championships at Mondial du Lion.
Dutton said, “She’s a fantastic athlete and ideal type for an event horse. She’s still very green having only competed at the one-star level, but I’m really looking forward to bringing her along and forging a great partnership with her. I haven’t had a really good mare in my career, so it will be fun to see how far we can go together.
