«Karli» the new mascot of the WEG 2006

Karli, 2.30 meters tall, always jolly and the official mascot of the World Equestrian Games 2006, he will draw the attention to the World Championships in seven equestrian disciplines in many performances leading up to WEG. One of the first performances was on Saturday evening: he not only gave the starting signal for the outdoor bet on the ZDF show „Wetten, dass….?”, he also took care of a great spirit among the hunderds of spectators who were present at the shoot.

«In Karli,» according to Klaus Pavel, President of the WEG Organisors, Aachen Laurensberger Rennverein e.V. (ALRV), „we found a great sympathetic character. His happy appearance is contagious.”
