Great joy about two nominations at Beerbaum Stables

Lisa Fundis and Christian Kukuk in the selection for the international FEI Award

Lisa Fundis, long-time groom for Philipp Weishaupt, initially thought someone was playing a joke on her: “I called Philipp and told him to check his emails because I thought someone was messing with me,” laughs the always reserved and likeable Lisa. Philipp Weishaupt confirmed to her that the news from the International Equestrian Federation (FEI) was real and definitely serious: the 31-year-old certified horse manager has been nominated for this year's highest honor, the “Cavalor FEI Best Groom” award. Fans can vote for their favorites in four categories from October 3 to 13. The results will be announced at the big FEI Gala in Abu Dhabi on November 13. Lisa Fundis can hardly believe her luck: “This is actually one of the two goals I still want to achieve.”

 

Everyone at Ludger Beerbaum's stables and those around her are now crossing their fingers and, of course, voting for Lisa Fundis, who is a key figure in Philipp Weishaupt's team with her expertise, calm demeanor, and great reliability.

 

Olympic show jumping champion Christian Kukuk is equally thrilled. After all, the biggest achievement of his career to date in Paris has also helped the newly fifth-ranked rider in the world to be nominated for the “Peden Bloodstock FEI Best Athlete” award.

 

“The fact that two people from our stables have been nominated is a great honor and recognition of our work in Riesenbeck,” says 34-year-old Christian Kukuk, who is always focused on his riding and pursues his goals with determination. Speaking for himself and Lisa Fundis, he adds: “Now, of course, we both want to travel to Abu Dhabi as winners for the gala!”

 

To achieve this, both of them need the support of fans, colleagues, friends, and acquaintances. From October 3 to 13, there will be a public vote on the FEI website (http://fei.org/awards), which will account for 50 percent of the final result, with the other 50 percent determined by an FEI jury.
