Double clear round for Glock's Prince de Vaux at Nations Cup

Dieter Köfler has been riding GLOCK's Prince de Vaux for just under two years and the time they took to get to know each other has paid off. The nine-year-old Selle Francais gelding sired by Flipper D'Elle is also becoming more consistent in putting in a first-class performance at top international events. At the CSIO3*-W Nations Cup in Bratislava (Slovakia), the Carinthia duo did just that, not once but twice.

Both in the first and second rounds of the challenging jumping over 1.60 m, they had no penalty points and took second place with the Austrian team! "He did an admirable job," says Dieter Köfler delighted with GLOCK's Prince de Vaux, "apart from us, only a German managed that." "Actually, he's always ambitious, sometimes almost overeager," he describes the elegant gelding, "which also makes top performance possible!"
