Out of a highly competitive field of no less than 68 combinations, with only 16 making it through to the jump-off, the Belgian duo Gudrun Patteet and the Zangersheide mare Sea Coast Chica V.V. Z (Comme Il Faut 5) claimed a convincing victory in the CSI4* 1.50m Prix Demeures de Campagne in Cabourg!
Gudrun Patteet and the ten-year-old Sea Coast Chica V.V. Z (Comme Il Faut 5) delivered a clear round in the jump-off, finishing in a time of 36.73 seconds — ultimately the fastest of the class, securing them a convincing win! Patteet and the mare were over a second faster than French rider Kevin Staut and the Zangersheide mare Vida Loca Z (Vigo d'Arsouilles).
