In front of his homecrowd, Germany's David Will secured the 1.50m STAWAG Prize at CHIO Aachen. The German showjumping rider jumped to victory aboard Zaccorado Blue. "It was a difficult class with a lot of different possible approaches," David told Equnews after his class.
"But Zaccorado and I go back for a while now and we trust each other. I could take the risk and do one stride less from two to three." On stage compatriot Hans-Dieter Dreher followed aboard his 14-year-old Vestmalle des Cotis (Baloubet du Rouet).
With almost two seconds difference, Roberto Teran Tafur (COL) and BP Wakita (Pacino) completed the stage.
The pair was followed by Olivier Perreau and his Belgian Warmblood-mare, O.Ziezo DB (Zilverstar T). Shane Sweetnam (IRL) completed the top five with the Belgian bred Out of the Blue SCF (Verdi TN).
