EBERHARD
& CO. AMBASSADOR RICH FELLERS WINS
THE USEF “RIDER OF THE YEAR” AWARD
THE USEF “RIDER OF THE YEAR” AWARD
The US Equestrian
Federation awarded Rich Fellers with
the valued title of Rider of the Year
2012, while his preferred mount Flexible
received the recognition of Horse of the
Year.
Among the eight US
top-riders who received the Pegasus Award’s nomination last December, the great
Eberhard & Co. ambassador prevailed thanks to an unforgettable 2012 season,
during which he dominated the World Cup
and obtained the best US jumping result at
London Olympics.
Such an incredible
sportsman deserves a princely mount: Flexible, Irish sport stallion born in
1996, has been nicknamed the “Comeback
Kid” thanks to the stubbornness that allowed him to return to competitions
in spite of three major injuries that would have ended the career of any other
horse. On those occasions, Rich Fellers has shown that his human qualities are no less developed than his sporting abilities,
as he dedicated to Flexible all the care and attention that allowed him to return
and dominate the most prestigious international jumping competitions.
“Flexible has a big
heart” – Rich declares, in Eberhard
& Co. opinion this is a quality horse and rider fully share.
