Victoria Gulliksen has a new talent in the stables; the Norwegian rider has bought Papa Roach (Perigeux x Zeus) from Andreas Knippling. The now 8-year-old chestnut gelding has been a ribbon machine with Knippling, recording many international placings: "When you are competing Papa Roach ten times, eight times you will get a ribbon," said Knippling back in February last year after one of their many wins.

Victoria Gulliksen is excited about the future with this horse: "I have a great feeling with him and I believe that in a few years he will be a championship horse for me."
