23.7.2017) This time the CSI Ascona was a rather ill-fated show for Pius Schwizer. The event had already begun unluckily. Leonard de la Ferme CH was limping here in Ascona und had to be taken home. Askaria stepped in, but it still was a bit too early and too difficult for her“, Pius Schwizer said. “Balou Rubin R could not compete on Friday, because his class was cancelled due to the heavy rain. On Saturday, during the nocturne, the floodlight in the arena was not ideal, and I decided to retire. Now it’s all about looking ahead, life continues.“ And there were also reasons for joy: On Sunday morning Pius Schwizer and Balou Rubin R won the 145 cm world ranking class. And 20 year old superstar Ulysse X, ridden by his wife Florence, took two wins and a second place in the 2* competitions.
