Niklas Kreig at Leipzig 2016 with Carella. Ph. Tomas Holcbecher/EQ Images
Last year’s upset World Cup Qualifier win by young German rider Niklas Kreig is still fresh on everyone’s lips as they head back to Leipzig for the Longines FEI World Cup™ Jumping 2016/2017 Western European League CSI5* show jumping.
The 20th edition of PartnerPferd Leipzig CSI5*-W in Leipzig, Germany also includes World Cup driving and vaulting, as well as a massive exhibition hall that together attract over 1 million visitors throughout the show’s duration, from the 19-22 of January.
More than a dozen of the world’s top 20 show jumping riders will attend, including Olympic medalists and a strong roster of German riders. Kreig, now 23 years of age and with another year of experience under his belt, will be among them to try and make lightning strike twice. You can find the entire week’s schedule and live results at this link.
