Qalista DN makes strong debut at 1.60m level

Qalista DN and Gilles Thomas jumped at a particularly high level last weekend and showed that they are more than capable of performing at this level. The breeding product of Wim De Nul, a daughter of Emerald van het Ruytershof out of the well-known Landetto mare Ulricke van 't Paradys, finished fourth in the CSI5* GCT/GCL GP of St. Tropez on Sunday. On Thursday evening, Qalista DN helped secure victory for the Valkenswaard United Team together with Hans-Dieter Dreher. The nine-year-old mare, who was allowed to grow calmly into the higher classes, is now also showing that she can jump at the highest level and win prizes.
