Daniel Deusser: "Fast or slow, Tobago will always jump the same."

Yesterday Daniel Deusser claimed the World Cup victory in Madrid. “We found a good rhythm from the first to the second, and it lasted to the very end of the course. Tobago is very careful and very scopey, and he’s not a hot horse so that really helps in the jump-off because he never rushes even when he’s under pressure - you get the same jump whether you are going fast or slow” the German rider explained.

Deusser, currently world no. 7, was really pleased with his horse’s performance. “Tobago has developed very well this year. His first World Cup was in Bordeaux in February and he has done a few Grand Prix classes and is showing a lot of promise for the future” he said. He intends taking either Tobago or Calisto Blue to Gothenburg - “you ride your best at the Final!” he pointed out.
