Karin Reid Offield announced that Lingh, Edward Gal’s 2006 World Equestrian Games mount, should arrive in the United States before the end of 2006.
Gal, of the Netherlands, accomplished a great deal with Lingh, placing second at the 2004 and 2005 FEI Dressage World Cup Finals and helping the Dutch team take the silver medal at the 2006 WEG.
The 13-year-old, Dutch Warmblood stallion (by Flemmingh) had been for sale for more than two years according to www.eurodressage.com.
“We are thrilled to have Lingh at Offield Farms,” said Offield in a press release. “Like so many people, I have admired him for years. We feel very fortunate to have him. I am excited about riding and showing him this winter on the Florida winter circuit.”
