Lorenzo de Lucas' 11-year-old partner Jappeloup is moving to Clara Pezzoli! De Luca made the sale public on Instagram:
"Time to say goodbye to our fantastic Jappeloup! đ
What an incredible horse you have been to us in this short time back together - showing your talent around the world and delivering clear round after clear round: GP 5* Shanghai, GP CSIO 5* Rome, GP Cannes, GP Monaco."
In the future, the stallion, who is by Calvaro F.c. x Heartbreaker, will be ridden by Clara Pezzoli.
Jappeloup
In April 2022, Lorenzo de Luca presented the stallion for the first time in St Tropez - Grimaud in a jumping class over 1.40 m and immediately secured a 10th place. Holly Smith took over the stallion from October 2022 to April 2023 before he returned to Lorenzo de Luca. At the end of 2023, Nadja Peter Steiner showed Jappeloup and was highly successful in Doha, Madrid, and Paris, among others. A few classes with Julien Eppailard followed in December 2024 and January 2025 before the stallion was once again successfully presented by Lorenzo de Luca. He will now be ridden by 31-year-old Clara Pezzoli.
