Victor Bettendorf (LUX) has announced the sale of his Grand Prix-horse, Foxy de la Roque (Armitages Boy x Kannan). The 9-year-old mare will join the stables of Caracole de la Roque with Karl Cook in the United States of America. Still, Bettendorf is able to compete one last time, aiming for the Grand Prix victory in Genèva!
"We have one goal left, riding (and winning) the Rolex Grand Prix in Geneva," says the show jumping rider. Together with Foxy, Bettendorf won the Longines Global Champions Tour Super Grand Prix, last week in Riyadh. "I feel lucky I will be able to compete her one more last time," says Bettendor. "I aim to win the Grand Prix in Switzerland, it would be the cherry on top!"
Earlier this year Bettendorf qualified by competing in one LGCT Grand Prix with the mare. The pair competed only in Rome and signed for victory. "Her best asset? It's her character... she wants to win!"
