Together with the CSIO, which will start tomorrow, the international show jumping audience collected on the green and sand-fields of the former top riders. The opening- 1m35-competition offered a total of 14 starters in the Jump Off. On the back of Ferrari Royal (s. Obession) Cobbaut finished in a time of 37:69 seconds. Virginie Thonon (Kosovo) followed on a second place while the Swedish Erica Swartz and the 8-year-old Catoki-mare Catika vd Helle completed the stage after a clear round in 41:84 seconds. The top five continued with Pieter Devos and Filline vd Veldhoek (s. Cartier vd Heffinck) and the Italian Juan Carlos Garcia with the Belgian Warmbred Gitano van Berkenbroeck (s.
