A memorable day for Massa Breeding at the Aachen arena, host of the 2026 FEI World Championships. Three horses from the breeding program, representing Belgium, Canada, and Israel, competed, marking significant milestones in their international careers and for their respective nations.

Jedaï de Massa and Wim Verwimp (Belgium)

Jedaï de Massa, ridden by Wim Verwimp, achieved a score of 68.121%. The duo’s performance contributed to Belgium’s 4th place among 19 nations, a result that means qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games! Jedaï de Massa and Wim participated in this Olympic qualification, a wonderful reward for how far they have come.

Come Back de Massa and Denielle Gallagher (Canada)

For their very first World Championship, Come Back de Massa and Denielle Gallagher impressed with 68.074%. Canada ranked 9th among 19 nations. Facing 88 competing pairs in Aachen, they delivered one of their best performances in an international Grand Prix, a particularly significant achievement in a championship of this scale.

Carpe Diem de Massa and Micah Deligdish (Israel)

Carpe Diem de Massa and Micah Deligdish also made their World Championship debut. With a score of 65.978%, this pair reached a new important stage in their international journey.

An Olympic qualification for Jedaï de Massa’s team, a benchmark performance for Come Back de Massa, and first World Championship experiences for Come Back de Massa and Carpe Diem de Massa. Three different stories coming together in the same arena, with the same origin: Massa Breeding. To see three horses from our selection simultaneously represent Belgium, Canada, and Israel at this level is a tremendous recognition of the work accomplished for nearly half a century by all the teams that bring our breeding program to life. From Provence to Aachen… and already looking towards Los Angeles 2028.
