Kim Emmen's Island V G Sold to Norway

Transition to New Rider

Kim Emmen, a prominent figure in the showjumping community, has officially sold one of her top horses, Island V G, to Norwegian rider Geir Gulliksen. The announcement comes as Emmen prepares for further competitions after having made significant memories with the talented KWPN gelding.

Debut Performance

Island V G, known for his pedigree lineage (sired by Zirocco Blue VDL), made his debut under Gulliksen's saddle during a 1.45-meter event in Riesenbeck on Friday. This transition marks a new chapter for both the horse and the rider, who will now represent Norway in future competitions.

Previous Achievements

Prior to this sale, Island V G enjoyed a successful partnership with Emmen, who had been competing with him internationally until earlier this month. Their last outing together was during the Longines Global Champions Tour 'kick-off' in Doha. Throughout their time together, Emmen and Island V G achieved several notable successes, including standout performances in prestigious events like the Global Champions League in Monte Carlo and podium finishes at the 1.50-meter competitions in Valkenswaard. The pair also claimed victory in a CSI4* event at Vejer de la Frontera in 2022. #### Future Prospects

As Island V G transitions to his new role, equestrian fans will be keenly watching to see how he adapts under Gulliksen's guidance and how he performs in upcoming events while representing Denmark. Emmen's successful campaign with the gelding has set high expectations for his continued success on the international stage.

This sale highlights the dynamic nature of equestrian sports, where partnerships can shift, but the legacy of success continues with each new rider. Both Emmen and Gulliksen will now focus on their respective journeys, with hopes of achieving new heights in the sport.
