ROLEX FEI WORLD CUP™

The oldest horse in the competition was the 16 year old horse Flexible from Irland. He won the first round of the Rolex FEI World Cup™ Final 2011/2012 in the Netherlands on 19th of April.
Just like his name, the stallion’s got out of a really hard fence to jump-the fifth one on the track of 13 fences. It was made by the Dutch course designer Louis Konickx. The stallion proved his qualities in every sense, and none of the other horses could match his pace when he made the best time in 60.26 seconds.
Steve Guerdat from Switzerland and Nino des Buissonnets were at the second place, while the astonishing Rik Hemeryck finished third for Belgium with Quarco de Kerambars. He had on his way the trouble of being first into the ring.
Pius Schwizer and Ulysse finished up fourth and were before  Kevin Staut and Silvana HDC for France in fifth place and Rolf-Goran Bengtsson from Sweden, was sixth with Casall La Silla.
With that night's results converted into points, Fellers  would go into the second round with an advantage of two points at the top of the board. But like any other competition of the FEI World Cup™ final, there are more big fences that have to be jumped. Only there the 2011/2012 Rolex champion will be announced the next round.
