Chiara 222 (April 16, 2003, Bahrenfleth - April 24, 2019) was a gray mare registered in the Holsteiner studbook and ridden in show jumping. This daughter of Contender was born in the Oldenburg region. After a successful debut under the saddle of Irish rider Cameron Hanley, she was snapped up by Germany's Ludger Beerbaum, with whom she won three silver medals, at the 2013 European Dressage and Show Jumping Team Championships, at the 2013-2014 Show Jumping World Cup Final as an individual, and then at the 2014 World Equestrian Games as a team. She was euthanized in April 2019, at the age of 16, following a bout of colic, without the possibility of retirement.

Chiara 222 stood out for her atypical jumping style, with a raised head carriage and low forehand passage. Her character was said to be very gentle, as Ludger Beerbaum let his daughter ride her.

History

[edit]

Chiara 222 was born on April 16, 2003[1] at the Guenter Schueder stud in Bahrenfleth, Germany.[2] Although a Holsteiner studbook mare, she was born in the heart of the Oldenburg region.[3] Her breeder described her as a normal filly, and sold her at auction at the age of two and a half.[4] She was acquired by Anna Gkouskova.[5]

Her career at the highest level began at the age of 8, in 2011, with Irish rider Cameron Hanley,[6] who took her up to the 1.45 m level,[7] winning her first event at the Concours de saut international deux étoiles (CSI2*).[3] After a brief stay at Giulia Martinengo Marquet's[7][8] Italian stables for 4 competitions in June 2011, she was ridden by German rider Ludger Beerbaum from September onwards.[3][6] She has been owned by Madeleine Winter-Schulze,[6] Ludger Beerbaum's horse owner, since September 2011.[3][9]

The agreement with Beerbaum was immediate.[7] As early as 2012, they took second place in the George V Cup at Hickstead; the following year, they won two Nations Cup stages, and were team silver medallists in the European Championships.[7] The couple was selected by Otto Becker to represent Germany at the 2014 World Equestrian Games. In November 2014,[6] Chiara suffered from colic on arrival at the CSI5* in Doha, prompting Beerbaum to compete with his other horse, Zinedine, to preserve her.[10]

Chiara 222 competed in the 2017 World Cup Final at Omaha, despite a lacklustre winter season.[11] In November 2018, she wins the final qualifying round of the Global Champions Tour.[12]

Her last competition was a victory over 1.60 m in Doha at the beginning of March 2019,[13][14] where she signed the fastest double clear of the three courses.[15] She suffered a bout of colic shortly afterwards, which led to her euthanasia a month later, on the morning of April 24, 2019, at the age of 16, due to a sudden deterioration in her health, and the lack of recovery after her operation.[6][9][16][17][18][19][20] Beerbaum declared that he was affected by the loss of his mare.[21]

Description

[edit]

Chiara 222 was a Holsteiner studbook mare.[1] Her gray coat, originally dappled, became lighter over the years.[6] The mare proved equally at home in outdoor and indoor competitions.[16] Chiara 222 had atypical movements, in particular a head carriage in the air, and a rather low foreleg movement.[3] This head movement was the biggest difficulty to master when riding her in competition. According to Beerbaum, Chiara had a very gentle character, as he left his 7-year-old daughter ride her.

Results

[edit]

Chiara 222 was one of the most important horses in Ludger Beerbaum's career,[3] and he competed with her for 8 years.[22] She won 15 races during her sporting career.[9] A mainstay of the German national team,[23] she competed three times at the renowned Aachen International Show Jumping Competition, placing highly at each of these events.[4]
