Kürten hoping to find ‘common ground’ with Forbes
The Antrim rider has been stopped by Forbes from competing her top horses and has, in turn, refused to release them from her yard in Rheinland, Germany.
In a statement, Kürten revealed that a Duisburg court had rejected an application for a temporary injunction to return the Castle Forbes horses and transmitted the judgments in writing to both parties on February 28. She suggested dialogue with Forbes as the best way to solve the dispute. “I hope that we will be able now to find common ground to come to a final solution soon in order to minimize the disadvantages in regard to the sport and in regard to the financial deficits for all parties concerned,” Kürten said. “Especially, because of the long-term co-operation, I wish for an open and respectful dialogue.”
