Carl Hester to Ride KK Woodstock in Last Minute Attempt to Make it to Herning

Even though his Olympic team horse En Vogue is ruled out for the 2022 World Championships in Herning due to injury, Carl Hester might have a little surprise in store. He has taken over the ride on Gareth Hughes' KK Woodstock for the summer.

KK Woodstock is a 16-year old Baden Wurttemberger bred gelding by Wolkentanz II out of Lerida (by Landioso x Kalman). He is bred by Matthias Schönenberger and owned by the Swiss couple Claudine and Martin Kroll.

KK Woodstock made his Grand debut in 2016 in Switzerland under Hans Staub, but after the Kroll family split from Staub in 2017, the ride was allocated to British Gareth Hughes.
