The highlight of the CAVALIADA Warsaw weekend, the CSI3*-W 1.50m Perlage Grand Prix, brought a fitting conclusion to the event’s program. With a demanding course and a selective jump-off, it was the Czech rider Natalie Kovarova who claimed victory aboard Chloe, delivering two flawless rounds and an unbeatable time.
Out of 41 starters, only a handful advanced to the decisive jump-off. Natalie Kovarova and Chloe (C-Ingmar) produced a clean performance, stopping the clock at 36.65 seconds after a clear first round in 73.89 seconds. The Czech pair’s precision and balance secured them the top step of the podium and the €14,200 winner’s purse.
Italy’s Andrea Marchese and Menzo de Toxandria (Andiamo Z) followed in second. Despite a fast round in 40.42 seconds, a rail down in the jump-off prevented them from threatening the leader. Home favorite Maksymilian Wechta placed third with Mystique after finishing in 47.66 seconds with four faults.
Germany’s Jens Wawrauschek and Mava S (Messenger) took fourth, while Poland’s Krzysztof Ludwiczak rounded out the top five aboard Vestari (Vigo d'Arsouilles), finishing with one time fault in the first round.
