The stage at Fieracavalli Verona delivered a weekend full of sport and spectacle, with the Italian leg of the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup™ once again showcasing Prestige Italia riders among the very best in international show jumping.
The highlight came on Sunday with the World Cup Grand Prix presented by KASK, where Daniel Deusser claimed a remarkable victory aboard Otello de Guldenboom, thanks to two flawless rounds and a lightning-fast jump-off completed in 36.13 seconds. Deusser rides on the Rubino AS-X, a saddle designed to maximize freedom of movement while preserving the horse’s well-being and the rider’s stability.
Close behind, Christian Kukuk, the current Olympic champion, secured an excellent third place with Just Be Gentle, confirming the extraordinary harmony of the pair. Completing Prestige’s success, Richard Vogel finished fifth with Cloudio. Both riders use the X-Perience saddle, valued for its ideal balance between close contact and comfort in the saddle.
A strong performance also came from Johan-Sebastian Gulliksen, seventh with Equine America Harwich VDL, a rider co-sponsored with our Nordic distributor Equality Line and the Irish rider Jessica Burke finishing ninth with Good Star du Bary riding Renaissance, a brand that combines artisanal excellence with technical performance.
