At a height of 1.55m, the French rider Jeanne Sadran secured the win on home soil at the CSI5* in Paris! “I’m super happy. It’s been a great day for me, admitted the rider from Toulouse, ranked 83rd in the world (4th in the under-25 ranking). This is my Grand Palais debut and I’m very pleased with this victory and the fact that I’ve been able to thank the Hermès house, which is now supporting me. Dexter is a machine."
"I think he’s one of the best horses in the world. He has all the necessary characteristics. I also feel increasingly confident in myself and I’ve managed to gain experience.” Despite the enthusiasm of the moment, the young rider erred on the side of caution when it came to discussing Sunday’s Grand Prix Hermès. “With horses, every day is like starting over again, she tempers. I’m going to do a bit of work with Dexter tomorrow morning to get him in the best possible shape.”
Jeanne Sadran and the SF stallion Dexter de Kerglenn (Mylord Carthago HN x Shana de Kerglenn) managed to take home the win on home soil in the CSI5* 1.55m class at Saut Hermès. Gregory Wathelet and Bond Jamesbond de Hay (Diamant de Semilly x Noya d'Orcival) had to settle for second place, just behind Swiss rider Martin Fuchs. Fuchs took second place in the saddle of Commissar Pezi (Commissario x Lady Gaga), a combination that had earlier won the CSI5* 1.45m class yesterday.
Gilles Thomas opened the top five with a brilliant fourth-place finish! Thomas jumped to this impressive result with Qalista DN (Emerald van 't Ruytershof x Ulricke van 't Paradys) under the saddle. Petronella Andersson completed the top five in the saddle of the BWP mare Opaline de W&S (Etoulon x Feline W&S).
