This week Belgium's toprider, Gregory Wathelet is the host of international sport at the Jumping International Courrière. On Sunday it is looking forward to the CSI2* Grand Prix. With a ceremony Wathelet will also honour his trusted Corée (Cornet Obolensky) officially retiring from the sport.
Aged 16-years-old the grey-mare can look back to an exceptional career, with amongst other the Rolex Grand Prix victory in Aachen. "Coree teached me a lot. I want to understand the development of a young horse. This is really interesting. With Coree, for example, I had my doubts when trying her. She was complicated. She taught me to let a horse develop at its own pase."
With Wathelet the mare was good for the win in the Nations Cup finals in Barcelona, won the CSI5* Grand Prix of Shanghai, The Worldcup in Leipzig and of course the CSIO5* Grand Prix in Aachen.
