Kürten off toa flier from new yard in France
The German-based Antrim woman is just a fortnight into a relocation to France, settling in at the yard of businessman and show jumper Edouard de Rothschild outside Paris, whom she will train while developing her young string. It is a major change in direction for the 42-year-old, as she plots a route back to the top after losing the ride last year on her most experienced horses in a dispute with their owner Georgina Forbes.
Understandable then that, after a year that has seen her plummet down the world rankings, Kürten should read her Amsterdam grand prix win with Vincente as a sign she is on the right track and that, while her headline results are rarer, she remains a force to be respected.
