New talent for Piergiorgio Bucci

Belgium's Lieven Van Decraen has entrusted Italy's showjumping rider,  Piergiorgio Bucci with his young talented horse, Alana Hero Z. Last week the new pair made their debut in St Tropez.

Aboard the 7-year-old Zangersheide-daughter of Aganix du Seigneur, Bucci jumped into a fourth place in the Youngster Tour finals in St Tropez.

Before it was Belgium's Melanie Gelin who competed the mare at an international level.
