The Nations Cup competition kept spectators on the edge of their seats until the very last jump. Entering the arena as the final combination of the class, Brianne Beerbaum faced immense pressure aboard her 11-year-old KWPN gelding, Kiss Me (by Cornet Obolensky). Keeping a cool head, Beerbaum anchored the host nation with a flawless clear round, securing the team gold medal for Germany.

The German quartet showcased exceptional depth and consistency throughout the competition:

  • Lennard Tillmann & Veltiner 3

  • Tony Stormanns & RMF Cinnamo

  • Malte Merschformann & Blue Water

  • Brianne Beerbaum & Kiss Me

A strong British contingent captured the silver medal, while Switzerland earned a well-deserved bronze.

Flawless Jack Kent Crowned European Champion

The individual final saw the top 30 combinations take on a challenging 1.40m course, with the best 25 advancing to the decisive second round. Ultimate precision proved crucial, as only eight horse-and-rider pairs managed to maintain a double-clear record over the entire final.

Ireland’s Jack Kent emerged as the undisputed star of the individual championship. Riding the BWP gelding Ollie van de Klotputten (by Jackson de Regor, bred by Nick and Koen Maes), Kent delivered faultless performances round after round. Finishing on a remarkable score of just 2.33 penalty points, the duo stood atop the podium to take home the individual title.
