Another change to the starting lineup for the World Cup Final

In addition to the invitation received by American Ben Ebeling (see HERE), yesterday was marked by another change to the starting list for the Fort Worth World Cup Final with the withdrawal of Danish Carina Cassoe Kruth.

While the reasons for Charlotte Dujardin's withdrawal remain unclear, for Carina Cassoe Kruth it was administrative formalities that prevented her participation. Although they were ready and about to depart, disagreements between the organizer's transport company and the Danish veterinary authorities regarding travel documents and formalities stopped their departure. Despite the Danish Federation's efforts to find a solution, Carina Cassoe Kruth and her horse, Heiline's Danciera, were unable to leave the country.

Resigned, she commented to varmblod.dk "It's a regrettable situation, and I'm obviously very affected by it. We tried everything to make it work today, but without success. I was really looking forward to participating in the World Cup Final in Texas and experiencing it with my family, my groom, and Danse's owners, Ingrid and Poul Thøgersen. I can only wish my colleagues and the organizers a good final in Texas. Unfortunately, the situation is completely beyond my control."
