The 5* competition in Fontainebleau kicked off on Friday, culminating in the 1.55m main event. Only ten out of sixty riders and horses made it to a clear round.
A German dominance colored the podium with victory for Daniel Deusser (GER). Armed with the BWP mare Killer Queen VDM (Eldorado vd Zeshoek), Deusser executed flawlessly and brought the breeding product of Dirk and Ann Bruggeman - Carpentier to triumph. Kendra Claricia Brinkop (GER) relied on Do It Easy (Vigo Cece), who made light work of the challenging course, securing second place. Mark McAuley (IRL) ensured an Irish third place in the saddle of GRS Lady Amaro (Amaretto d'Arco).
A clear round with a time of 70,57s meant fourth place for Steve Guerdat (SUI) and Dynamix de Belheme (Snaike de Blondel). As last to go, Gregory Cottard (FRA) snatched fifth place aboard of Bibici (Norman Pre Noir).
