SJ Breeding: 7th for Flexible in Longines FEI World Cup Final
- 22 April 2015, 19:58
19 year old Irish Sport Horse stallion Flexible and 55 year old US rider Rich Fellers showed why they are crowd favorites while riding to a 7th place in 2015 Longines FEI World Cup Final in Las Vegas (USA). The iconic duo headed into the final round as joint leaders with the eventual champion Steve Guerdat. An unfortunate two fences down in Sunday’s final resulted in an overall, highly respectable, final placing of 7th.
