Owned by a syndicate consisting rider Marco Bührig, and Klindworth & Piontek sport horses, the chestnut gelding has been competed up to M-level.

Tatjana Piontek made Saimir's show debut in 2020 in the riding horse classes and showed him up to A-level that year. As of 2021 Marco Bührig has been competing the horse at regional shows in the north of Germany. Their last CDN together was in Worpswede in September 2024 at M-level, which they won.
