On this sunny afternoon in Eindhoven the Dutch crowd of the showjumping loving region came out to amazing looking showground at the Karpendonkse to be treated for a fantastic afternoon onf showjumping. And what an afternoon it was! In a field of top competitorsthe crowd got a champion winner, the reigning Dutch Champion Frank Schuttert. On board is top horse Go Easy the Muze (v. Vigo D´arsouilles), on which he secured the Dutch Championship just two weeks ago, Schuttert was the first to go in a jump-off with fifteen competitors. Wanting to win in front of his home crowd the rider of Lansink stables put a very vast time on the board of 37.59 seconds that one could even touch. Even speed Italian devil Lorenzo Da Luca and Ensor De Litrange Lxii were flying over the gras, but came short by 0.05 of a second. Dutch rider Johnny Pals and the Holsteiner bred Fernando (v. For Pleasure) made a great attempt too, but were not able to get the short turns Schuttert and het championssteed could make and ended up third. The joung Ruben Romp, who was second last friday in the CSI3*, just missed the podium by an inch taking the fourth sport after a nice ride in 39.13 seconde with his Audi´s Teavanta Ii C Z (v. Treasure). On the fifth place we see another young Dutch talent, Remco Been riding Holland Vd Bisschop (v.Heartbreaker). Click here for the full Grand Prix results.
