Blas successfully campaigned the stallion Vivaldi, a thoroughbred cross Promeza, Northern Xanthus and Northern Hector all to FEI level competition. He is best known however for his partnership with the Holsteiner, Northern Hector whom he took from Preliminary right through to over 30 Grand Prix starts. He was short listed for the London Olympics with his “best friend” – however unfortunately the horse died in the warm-up arena at Werribee in one of the last qualifiers for London. He now concentrates on teaching and training, but I believe he has a stunning colt that he is bringing along – so watch this space!


He is an amazing horseman, a very humble man and a champion in his own right.
