Dutch rider Gerco Schröder has only been competing Glock's Cognac Champblanc for a year, but in such a short time they have developed quite the partnership. Soon they will compete in their first World Cup Final together.
- Name: Glock's Cognac Champblanc
- Rider : Gerco Schröder
- Age: 12 years
- Breeding: Clearway x Caretino
- Owner: Gaston Glock
- Percentage of clear rounds this Winter: 91%
Latest Results :
In Lyon, this new combination went double clear to finish in fourth place. A great start to their career, this was followed by a double clear in Stuttgart and a sixth place finish. In both Bordeaux and Treffen this new member of the Glock's Horse Performance Centre produced more clear rounds to take third place at both of the shows respectively. Finally, the pair produced two eighth place finishes in Doha and s'Hertogenbosch, before heading to the 2* in Bonheiden for their final preparations for Las Vegas.
Statistics :
Based on results alone, Glock's Cognac Champblanc should be a sure thing for a top placing in Las Vegas. He had a 91 percentage rate of clear rounds this Winter. His only weakness seems to be speed, which may prove to be damaging on the opening day of the Finals.
