BREAKING NEWS – Huge hit to Paris Panthers ahead of GCL Championship Final
Mdmar – Riyadh – LGCT
Have Paris Panthers handed the Championship Title to Riesenbeck International powered by Kingsland Equestrian?
Jur Vrieling’s star horse Long John Silver 3 N.O.P has been sold as announced today by SF Equestrian, meaning he is not in Riyadh to help Paris Panthers in their bid for GCL Championship Glory.
Speaking exclusively to Global Champions this morning, Jur Vrieling said: “I’m going to miss him a lot, especially here in Riyadh, and for the GC Prague Playoffs. Long John is a once-in-a-lifetime horse, he has all the scope, is careful, and has a great, great attitude.

“It’s quite hard that he has been sold, but we have to go on, and I still think that we have a chance to beat Riesenbeck International. For sure it is not getting easier, but we will give it a good try, and I hope Ben and Harrie are going to deliver some really good rounds. We will fight for it.”
The team nominations are in, with horses now on the ground in Riyadh. Even with the omission of Long John Silver 3 N.O.P, Paris Panthers are set for battle with the ultra-consistent Riesenbeck International powered by Kingsland Equestrian. While it is yet to be announced which horses and riders will be competing in GCL Round 1 and Round 2, we can announce who is on each team roster for the GCL Championship Final.
