Cian O'Connor has welcomed Marco Kutscher's former ride Clenur (Carinue x Fernando) to his stables.
Kutscher took over the ride from Armin Himmelreich at the beginning of 2016, and has recorded several good results with the gelding since then. The two were fifth in this year's five-star World Cup in Zürich, seventh in the prestigious CN International Grand Prix at Spruce Meadows as well as being third with the German team in the five-star Nations Cups of St. Gallen and Spruce Meadows.
"Welcome to Karlswood the beautiful Clenur. The 11 yr old bay gelding will be joining my team of horses that travel to Wellington next week. Formally ridden by Germany's Marco Kutscher with great success, I look forward to developing a solid partnership together for next season," writes O'Connor on his official Facebook-page.
