Home Team Spotlight: Riesenbeck International Powered by HorseGym

Get ready for an electrifying showdown as the GCL heads to Riesenbeck, Germany, from 11–14 September, where the home heroes of Riesenbeck International powered by HorseGym will be looking to light up their local stage. With the crowd firmly behind them, the pressure is on to deliver maximum points in front of their own fans.

On Saturday, 13 September, the spotlight falls on the GCL of Riesenbeck, and the home team will be represented by Max Weishaupt, Christian Kukuk, and Emanuele Camilli – three riders who know this arena better than most. Both Christian is one of the spearhead talents of the world-renowned Beerbaum Stables, carrying forward the vision and legacy of Ludger Beerbaum himself. Camilli, once a protégé of Beerbaum, now returns as a seasoned force ready to fight for the team, and Weishaupt, the younger brother of Kukuk's Beerbaum Stables compatriot, Philipp Weishaupt, brings forward some serious experience at the 1.60m level.

The squad in full is a powerhouse of experience and talent: Christian Kukuk, Tiara Bleicher [U25], Emanuele Camilli, Marco Kutscher, Philipp Weishaupt, and Maximilian Weishaupt. Each of them brings a depth of skill and determination that makes Riesenbeck International one of the most feared contenders on the grid.

Fans don’t need reminding of just how dominant this team can be. In 2023, Riesenbeck International burst onto the GCL scene with relentless consistency, stacking podium after podium. Their season was capped off in style as they stormed to the overall GCL Championship title before sealing the deal with victory in the GCL Super Cup Final in Prague.

Now, with the spotlight back on home soil, the challenge is set: defend their fortress, thrill the crowd, and climb ever higher in the 2025 Championship standings. The team will be gunning to remind everyone why Riesenbeck has become the heartbeat of German show jumping.
