4. SWEET SPOT

Sweet Spot’s exceptional jump is all about the three R’s: routine, responsiveness and results.

This six-year-old mare has the power of a big cat and the elegance of a dancer. That’s exactly what she feels like under the saddle, and once you’ve ridden her around a course of jumps, you’re hooked. Sweet Spot is a wonderful example of a modern performance horse: an elegant thoroughbred type with a beautifully athletic build. She has a sporty conformation, an alert eye and a very cooperative way of responding to her rider’s aids. Sweet Spot is an incredibly balanced horse with the ability to focus and a perfect bascule. Always switched on and naturally careful, she combines jumping ability with mental agility. Carrying her rider over jumps with cat-like ease, this bold mare confidently answers every question asked of her with impressively fast responses.

Sweet Spot is a Westphalian “pure blood” with a combination of top show jumping genes in her pedigree: Casco Bravo x Bellini Royal x Lapis Lazuli.

She has already achieved extraordinary things despite her young age, including 36 FN-registered placings (10 of which are wins). Sweet Spot has won classes up to 1.35m, received dream scores in young horse classes up to 1.20m, including a 9.0, and she qualified for the Al Shira'aa Bundeschampionat for six-year-old jumping horses in 2025 with an 8.8. At the competition itself, she added to her list of achievements by scoring 8.8 in a 1.25m class despite the daunting backdrop of the championship showground. Another milestone for Sweet Spot was her victory in the final for the six-year-old horses at the Tiemeyer x Hetzel Young Horse Masters. With all these placings and competition experience, Sweet Spot is already performing like a pro and has a bright future ahead of her.

Sweet Spot – the success story has started.

And the next chapter is the international stage.
