In the main class of the Sunshine Tour, Sanne Thijssen popped to the top spot on Con Quidam Rb (by Quinar Z) early in the class and did not let go of it her spot. The Dutch rider was also victorious in the previous CSI4* 1.30m.
The WKD Big Tour had set the jumps at 1.50m and challenged riders in a round against the clock. Sanne Thijssen (NED) had to start early in the class, as twelfth out of just under 50 competitors, she entered the arena on Con Quidam Rb (by Quinar Z). The course left no room for mistakes and Thijssen clearly had a goal in mind. With the seventeen-year-old stallion, she flew through the course and stopped the clock at 63.72, the fastest time then being.
