ON the weekend of Benny Kuehnle’s 11th anniversary, the horse named in his honour won the three-star $100,000 Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Thermal, USA. Bennys Legacy, bought by the talented Kuehnle as a foal, was victorious under his new rider, American’s Adrienne Sternlicht.

Sternlicht had only jumped Bennys Legacy at three events before heading to the west coast for World Cup competition, but the pair proved their partnership is already strong with a statement victory.
