Leading Austrian dressage rider Victoria Max Theurer will be away from competition for a few months as she is expecting her first child; a pregnancy whose due date is expected in the autumn.

Hour after hour, the participants of the Fort Worth World Cup Final are revealed... with now the announcement of the participation of Austrian Bettina Kendlbacher. Like Moritz Treffinger, Bettina Kendlbacher did not qualify directly, as she finished 11th in the Western European League with her Broadmoars Don Alfredo AWO, thanks to the 44 points she earned at the Mariakalnok (Hungary), Lipica (Slovenia), Basel (Switzerland), and Neumünster (Germany) legs.

As for the Eastern European league, it's not yet known whether the top-ranked pair, Poland's Sandra Sysojeva and her Maxim

13th after 's-Hertogenbosch, the young German Moritz Treffinger was theoretically ineligible for the World Cup Final in Fort Worth, Texas. However, this was without taking into account the changes recorded in recent hours by the FEI.

Having finished 7th in

Since then, the American has been forced to step away from top-level competition due to neuropathies in his feets and hands. Udon, Floriano, Grandeur, Lombardi, Prince, Ravel, Rosamunde, Wizard Banamex, Legolas : at 61 years old, the rider born in Germany is about to debut a new horse at this leve

Since yesterday afternoon, following 's-Hertogenbosch , the nine qualifiers after the final round of the Western European League are known (see HERE ). However, as mentioned previously, the starting lineup for the Texas seems to be quite different. Here's why. Fears related to air transport, stallion's managing, Aachen/Olympic qualification's goal, bad past experience, the reasons are certainly as diverse as they are personal: nevertheless, horses.nl annonced yesterday what

If Justin Verboomen & Zonik Plus had yesterday, very very, very hot test as the 10-year-old stallion was a little impressed by the track, enough to be shorlty followed by Glamourdale 1 Lottie Fry who made a mistake in his second pirouette, the world number 1 and his Rheinlander left no chance for their followers today in the freestyle; an exercise in which they excel, transporting the public and spectators into their very personal world. The Dutch public had the chance to en

Although only one rider can occupy the highest step of the podium, there were effectively two winners from Friday night’s Lövsta Stuteri World Cup™ Grand Prix Freestyle.

And this year, the icing on the cake is that it hosts not only world number one Just
