2014-11-09      Endurance - Lombardy Cup

Akhal-Teke Endurance

A superb set of results for the Akhal-Teke team at the Lombardy Cup held in Provaglio Iseo.  In the 30km class a 3rd place podium finish for 4-year-old Meliia, a 5th place for 5-year-old Miskhan and a 13th place for Madjima, who has now qualified for the 60km class.  34 horses competed in this 30km category.

The Lombardy Cup is the last event of the Lombardy endurance season and is a team event.  Lombardy were regional Italian endurance champions this year and many among the strongest horses in Italy were therefore fielded.  The starting list was a roll call of champions.  But apart from Meliia and Miskhan there were no other horses as young as 4 and 5 in the top 10!  Medeus's results are therefore all the more impressive.

Many thanks to Giancarlo Palini, Davide Fogliata and Patricia Conti for riding our steeds and to their support teams for ensuring these excellent results.
