Locarno 62 Collectible Horse

Britain's Famous Show Jumper Locarno 62, has been a driving force behind the success of Ellen Whitaker, one of Britain's most accomplished young riders. As a seven year old, Locarno 62 helped Ellen win the Young Riders Championship at Hickstead and has continued to set the international world of show jumping on fire.

Since the championship, Locarno 62 a 16.2-hand bay Holsteiner stallion, has achieved some significant career milestones with Ellen. Among those representing Great Britain in the World Championship for young horses at Zangerscheide, Germany; turning in a clear round in the Hickstead Derby; jumping a double clear in La Baule (France) Super League, one of the World's biggest shows; top ribbons in the Grand Prix of Rome and the Grand Prix St Gallen, Switzerland; and representing Great Britain in Nations up Competition.

With help from Locarno 62 and Ellen, Great Britain won the Rotherdam Nations Cup - the fourth leg of the 2007 Samsung Super League, for the first time in 21 years. Ellen's teammates included her Uncle John and Michael Whitaker. She then contributed one of the best scores to the Nations Cup Team at the Spruce Meadows Masters, in Calgary, Canada.

With Ellen, locarno 62 is poised for further accomplishment on the international show jumping scene as a candidate for the 2008 Olympics.
