In the 1.55m CSI4 Grand Prix, 10 combinations qualified for the jump-off. Ultimately, Piergiorgio Bucci kept the victory on home soil with the 12-year-old gelding Emerald's Dream (Emerald). The duo jumped to victory in 37.54 seconds, narrowly faster than Torben Köhlbrandt with Mastermind RL (Mylord CarthagoHN). Both pairs managed to finish under 38 seconds.**

Together with the 12-year-old daughter of Falaise de Muze, Ideaal Special H.J., Gerfried Puck secured third place. Only the podium finishers completed the jump-off without faults.

This result pushed Jean-Maurice Brahier with Caracoles (Chacco-Blue) to fourth place. This week, Steve Guerdat made his return to the competition ring. The Swiss rider had been ‘out’ for a while following surgery. With Albfuehren's Iashin Sitte (Bamako de Muze), Guerdat claimed fifth place.

Just outside the top five, Maverick van Lent also earned a placing. Van Lent guided Haras de Laubry’s Forever du Givre (Vigo d'Arsouilles) to seventh place.


Maverick van Lent Second in 1.40m

Earlier, Maverick van Lent finished second in the 1.40m Small Tour. Together with the 11-year-old Jolie Coeur d'Avril (Arko III), the Belgian rider had to concede only to Evelyne Bissmann with Lorinon d'Aveline CH (Lordanos).


Kasper de Boeck Scores in 1.45m

In the 1.45m Small Tour, Peter Burri ultimately claimed the win. With the 14-year-old Dubai 64 (Chin Champ), he stayed just a few hundredths of a second ahead of Dutch rider Leon Thijssen. Thijssen thus secured second place in this CSI4* class. Riding Conthakkato (Conthargos), he pushed Roger Umnus with Clear Love Z (Clarimo) into third place.

The Swiss duo also beat the time of Mykola Pylypeiko and Karat (Kannan). The CSI4* Grand Prix winner, Piergiorgio Bucci, finished fifth in this 1.45m class with Private Dancer van 't Meulenhof (Darcotique v’t Meulenhof). Representing Belgium, Kasper de Boeck rode Never Sky Van het Kritrahof (Triomphe de Riverland) to eighth place.
