Italian showjumper Francesco Turturiello secured a spot in the international top three. He completed the podium riding Palina Keeps ZL (Plot Blue).
Just outside the top three, Wilm Vermeir earned another prize. Vermeir delivered a faultless performance on Magic van 't Hulgenrode Z (Midas vh Endhouse), bred by Marcel de Ridder. Kim Emmen rounded out the top five aboard Island V G (VDL Zirocco Blue).
