In the last week leading up to the Longines FEI World Cup Final, WoSJ catch up with some of the world’s best riders as they head for Gothenburg. Here, living legend Ludger Beerbaum (GER) fills us in on his plans for the final.
Which horse will you be riding in the final?
“I will bring Casello and Cool Feeling, normally Casello will jump the World Cup Final and Cool Feeling the Grand Prix.
Casello didn’t do too many shows lately, only Bordeaux and 's-Hertogenbosch, to hopefully have him fresh for the final.
Cool Feeling I jumped at the two shows in Doha because he has only been in my stable for a few months and for every show with him I am getting to know him better.”
Who do you think will win?
“On the paper, but also in his performance, Daniel Deusser is my favourite.”
How special is it to compete in the Longines FEI World Cup Final?
“The venue, the show, the atmosphere is world class and brings hundreds of nice memories back to me!”
