Moritz is a real character around the stables.  A super talented horse that is always keen to perform for a crowd.  Moritz draws attention when ever he goes out with his flash movement and exuberant way of going. 

His results include winning the 2* at Albury in 2009 and placing 4th in the 2* at Scone, he also placed 3rd in the Camden 3* in September.  In 2008 Moritz placed 3rd in the Adelaide CCI2* and won the Canberra 1*.  Moritz also won the Sydney Royal Young Event horse Challenge in 2008. In 2011 Moritz completed the Adelaide CCI4*, a frustrating run out kept them out of the placings.

In 2012 Moritz won the Albury CIC3* as well as the Albury bareback high jump, where he cleared 1.55m.  He also placed 2nd at the Sydney CNC3*.  Moritz will compete at the Melbourne CCI3* in 2012 which is one of the final selection events for the London Olympic Games.
