Cossinelle has reportedly logged 128 competition starts, with two wins on its record, giving Onassis a mount with substantial big-arena experience rather than a young prospect still to be developed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Records from the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) show the change of ownership was registered on 2 October 2026. The horse\u2019s previous owner was reportedly a Ukrainian businessman.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-a-lifelong-passion\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A lifelong passion<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purchase is significant given how central equestrian sport has been to Athina Onassis\u2019s life. Riding since childhood, she went on to compete at international level in show jumping, building a career in the saddle that has often kept her name in the sporting pages as much as the society columns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Onassis has not publicly commented on her plans for Cossinelle, and no details have emerged about which competitions she may target. Still, a seven-figure investment in an experienced international show jumper has inevitably sparked speculation about a renewed push on the circuit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Source: Harper\u2019s Bazaar Greece<\/em><\/p>\n<p><!--[googlesitekit-end-of-content]--><\/p>\n<footer class=\"article-tags entry-footer\">\n<\/footer>\n<div class=\"category_container author-information\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<section id=\"authorpage\" class=\"authorpage\">\n\t\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b09d62101923f4e7c72cc48247475a3102bae674ed5f359249fac5bb5c705260?s=164&amp;r=g\" srcset=\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/b09d62101923f4e7c72cc48247475a3102bae674ed5f359249fac5bb5c705260?s=328&amp;r=g 2x\" class=\"avatar avatar-164 photo lazyload\" height=\"164\" width=\"164\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"\/>\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"author-content\">\n<h5>Stella Mazonakis<\/h5>\n<p>Stella Mazonakis is a contributor at Greek City Times, covering Greek news, community stories, sport, culture, and current affairs for readers in Greece and the diaspora.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fab fa-x-twitter\"\/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.com\/2026\/11\/08\/athina-onassis-cossinelle-show-jumper\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Athina Onassis, granddaughter of Greek shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, has made a headline-grabbing return to the spotlight of international show jumping with the purchase of a seasoned competition horse reportedly worth \u20ac1.2 million.
