The Italian rode the round of his life to take his first WC victory in the 6th leg of the FEI Jumping World Cup Western European League.

Paired with United Touch S, the win marked their second triumph in as many weeks following a spectacular victory in Lyon.

“He makes me feel like I’m a good rider” says the Belgian rider of his Paris Olympics partner following their victory in Norway.

Kent Farrington piloted the speedy mare to win the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup; Erynn Ballard was 10th with De Flor 111 Z Santa Rosa.

The win aboard the Canadian-owned horse qualifies the Irish rider for the Longines Final 2024 in Riyadh (KSA) in April.

The pair had a big win in Basel in the FEI Jumping World Cup, the late-blooming 17-year-old mare's first indoor Grand Prix victory.

The German rode to victory in the 9th leg of the World Cup Western European League; five more division qualifiers remain before the Final.

The British rider bested a large field of 40 starters aboard a relatively green mount as more experienced pairs had plenty of surprise rails.

The German was astride a relatively new ride, Coolio 42, on an afternoon which saw a surprising elimination for Kevin Staut.

The Canadian and Lehar were edged by her coach Conor Swail riding Count Me In in the $226,000 event; she now sits 3rd in the NA standings.
