Matthias Rath sells grand prix horse Triviant to focus on Moorlands Totilas

According to Horse and Hound, Matthias has sold his horse Triviant (who almost made the World Equestrian Games last year) in lieu of strengthening his partnership with Moorlands Totilas. I am very excited to hear this news, as I think it shows how focused Matthias is on getting Totilas to the level that Edward Gal was riding him, and/or perhaps beyond. :) Apparently Triviant and his new owner Charlotte Haid Bondergaard are a great match, according to Swedish chef d'equipe Bo Jena. What superb news! What do you think?

This I think is her (on another horse), looks like a lovely rider in this vid. And Triviant was 400,000 younger horse....so Rasmus and Charlotte must have some $$$$.

I think you may have meant to include a video that didn't show up?

Both horses are very lovely animals; I imagine one would have to have some dough to afford either of them ;)

If Bo Jena approves of the new match between Triviant and Charlotte Haid Bondergaard, than they should be well matched aww

Totilias is already at that level. Matthias has to ride like Edward to get himself there.

Queenrider, I think you're right in that Totilas is at "that level" as far as being mentally prepared and having done it all before, but I think finding a way for Matthias to ride Totilas to get the same results as Edward is the challenge. Not every rider rides the same, and it has been noted that there is a large difference in the styles of Gal and Rath, so I think Matthias and Totilas need to figure out how to speak in the same language (so to speak) to get to where Totilas was with Edward. :)
