Henceforth, Forlap will compete under the saddle of Cassio Rivetti. “It’s been a while since offers to buy the horse have rolled in and they have become more and more insistent. Unfortunately, there comes a time where one can no longer turn away the offers. I was prepared for his depart based following his incredible performances as a 7 and 8 year old and, above all, given his incredible performances this year at competitions like Doha, Lummen, and La Baule. Interest in the horse was so high that thought he would leave before the world championships. But, even though our sport consists of bringing horses up to the top level to be sold, it brings great sadness in my heart to see Forlap leave – for he was very special to me and truly gave me so much!”
