The last pair to complete in the Grand Prix Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois FEI Dressage World Cup in Basel, Corentin Pottier and Gotilas du Feuillard were unanimously acclaimed by the public. The result was a new personal best and fourth place in 74.283%, tied with Poland's Sandra Sysojeva with Maxima Bella. ‘Incredible. It's hard to find the words. It was the best cover we've ever done together. And even more so in conditions that were not easy to prepare for and concentrate on with what happened yesterday at the veterinary visit and all the investigation that followed. I'd really like to thank, from the bottom of my heart, the French team vet, the FEI vets and the FEI-farrier Cyrill Zuber, who spent their afternoon and morning this morning trying to understand what could have gone wrong, searching, racking their brains and finally finding what was fortunately not much. Eight hours ago, I didn't know whether I'd have arrived in Pamfou or in Basel at that time of day. But that's also where I was extraordinarily lucky to have a fantastic team around me who supported us all the way. And above all an extraordinary horse.......
Here are a few impressions of the FEI World Cup Finals in Basel.
Now it's time to keep your fingers crossed for Sunday - the starting position is good.....

Dear visitors of my homepage I have revised my pages and concentrated on the essentials.

For the upcoming festive season, I wish you all a reflective time and a happy new year in 2022 - stay healthy. Sincerely Cyrill Zuber
SRF with "Gwunderfitz" as guest at Huftech
10 November 2021
SRF Kids: How is a horse's hoof shod with a horseshoe? And what else does a farrier do? SRF Kids children's reporter Pirmin (12) got to the bottom of these questions and shows you how it works in this episode of "Gwunderfitz". It certainly gets heated!
Farrier Conference 2021
26 August 2021
As a contribution to the shoeing conference, farrier Cyrill Zuber from Ostermundigen showed his special shoeing method "Eggplate". The method is particularly suitable for show jumpers, but also for treating equidae with laminitis. The 2021 Farriery Conference was decentralised and multimedia-based. Cyrill Zuber presented his contribution at the Ecurie Duguet SA in Gümligen. Also present was cameraman Reinhold Briegel. Instead of the tried and tested live broadcast with commentary, he produced a film which was uploaded on the web and social media as well as on the Huftech homepage. Here you can also find the technical article "Eggplate - ahead of evolution" as a PDF in French and German.

Farrier / Huftech
In 2012, my forge was still located in Bolligen near Bern. At that time, Westerner made a film about my company HUFTECH. The video shows the activities of HUFTECH very nicely and also points out the possible links between the work of a farrier and veterinary medicine. With the new forge at the animal hospital in Bern, HUFTECH has developed accordingly and intensified its cooperation with specialist staff at the animal hospital in Bern.
