At the CSIO 5* in Hickstead it was Julien Epaillard and Sheriff de la Nutria Lm (by Diamant de Semilly) who claimed the first victory. His compatriot Nicolas Delmotte followed in a second place with Parlamema. Thomas Ryan and Cruise On Clover completed the stage with a third spot. The speed class, set at a height of 1.45m was an exciting class to watch. In total 21 out of the 134 starters kept the wood untouched.
