FEI World Cup Jumping Finals 2012 - Den Bosch

This amazing combination forced a jump off with the Swiss rider Steve Guerdat riding the scopey Nino Des Buissonnets after three horses tied going into the fourth and final leg. Flexible’s winning clear round on that final afternoon drew a standing ovation from the appreciative Dutch crowd who knew they had witnessed something special.
Flexible is described by Fellers as a family pet and has twice come back from serious injury proving that certain jumpers get better with age; the longevity of the partnership also proved crucial in such a pressurised finale.
