Minikus and Luken Du Rouet Claim Victory at SRJT Longines World Cup Jumping Columbus CSI 3*- W

Todd Minikus and Luken Du Rouet were the last to enter the arena for the $2,500 1.40m Speed competition at the Spilt Rock Jumping Tour's Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping Columbus CSI 3*-W, the second week of the Tour's run at the Brave Horse Show Park in Johnstown, Ohio. Action started Wednesday with national classes; FEI classes get underway on Thursday.

This pair had won two classes last week at the SRJT Columbus International CSI 2*, and 57.51 seconds later they claimed another win. Luken Du Rouet, a 12-year-old gelding owned by Erin Schiller, has become a consistent winner under Minikus.

"I had several horses to ride in this class and to tell you the truth they all went nicely, but I kept having little bummer four faults here, bummer four faults there, and I was getting a little frustrated," said Minikus. "Luken won two classes last week and he came through with another awesome round again today. I started showing him at the end of Florida, and he is really moving up the ranks well. He is a sale horse that someone who wants to win should be buying."
