Bridgehampton, United States – August 31, 2025 – Prior to the $400,000 Longines Hampton Classic Grand Prix CSI 5* at the 50th Hampton Classic Horse Show CSI 5* & CSI 2*, World #21 ranked show jumper Daniel Bluman (ISR) presented the talented 17-year-old Zangersheide gelding Ladriano Z (Lawito x Baloubet du Rouet) to the competition ring for the last time. Daniel took over the reins from Ilan Bluman (COL) in the winter of 2016, kicking off their partnership with several top ten placings on the 2017 Wellington circuit. That partnership grew to include appearances at the 2018 World Equestrian Games, 2022 World Championships, 2023 World Cup™ Final and 2024 Olympic Games, as well as two of Daniel’s three Hampton Classic Grand Prix victories (2017 and 2023).
