The second CSIO5* during the Brussels Masters was held in the renowned Grand Place Arena. Sixty-eight international competitors took part, but 13 combinations chose to leave the competition early. This shows just how exciting the course was. In the end, the victory went to Brazilian rider Stephanie Macieira.
The victory went convincingly to Stephanie Macieira for Brazil, who stopped the clock at 60.48 seconds with her fiery Kan Kan du For (Kannan). It was a close call, as the competition stayed ahead of her for a long time. Spanish rider Pilar Lucrecia Cordon made a brave attempt at victory with Noblesse du Palis (Baltic VDL), but ultimately had to settle for second place in 61.80 seconds.
Behind her, Kim Emmen from the Netherlands showed that she too feels perfectly at home in this arena. With Lavantus-C (Cornet Obolensky), she clocked a solid 64.41 seconds, good for third place.
Switzerland's top rider Martin Fuchs kept up the pace with Love de Vie (Grandorado TN), but just missed out on the podium in 65.59 seconds. Fifth place went to Colombia's Rene Lopez Lizarazo, who rode a clear round in 66.34 seconds with Casa Lady Love Ps Old (Casallco).
