Haute Couture, Dutch Olympic Team Reserve, Bought for American Katherine Bateson Chandler

Haute Couture, the nine-year-old mare that was reserve for the Netherlands Olympic team, will be competed by Katherine Bateson Chandler of the United States with the world championships nine months away.

The KWPN mare that was developed by Dinja van Liere through 2017 and 2019 World Young Horse Championships before moving to Grand Prix earlier this year has been bought by Jennifer Huber, a longtime friend of Katherine, 46 years old. Both are based in Wellington, Florida.

Haute Couture (Connaisseur x IPS Krack C) was bred and owned by Joop van Uyter and Albert Drost.

Haute Couture is the second top European horse to have been acquired for an American rider in the past month–Fiontini, the triple World Young Horse Champion now an 11-year-old Danish Warmblood mare, was bought a month ago to be competed by Anna Buffini, 27, of San Diego, California.
