After being close on so many occasions, it was finally Martin Fuchs and Clooney’s turn to step to the top of the podium at the Longines FEI European Championships 2019 in Rotterdam. Individual silver medallists at last year’s World Equestrian Games, vice-champions at this year’s World Cup Finals and twice team bronze-medallists at the Europeans – the 27-year-old Swiss rider has a great record with Luigi Baleri’s 13-year-old gelding but on Sunday they could add gold to their collection.
We look back at some of the many magic moments as Martin and Clooney 51 brought the gold home to Switzerland at the Longines FEI European Championships 2019 in Rotterdam.
