After a Jump-Off with 10 only three combinations managed to produce a double clear in the 1.60m President of the UAE Showjumping Cup in Abu Dhabi. Eventually, Germany's David Will and the 10-year-old Zinedream (Zinedine) jumped to victory.
Will and his 10-year-old bay were just no two seconds faster as world number one rider, Henrik von Eckermann and his trusted 14-year-old Belgian Warmblood-gelding, King Edward (Edward). The Swedish showjumping rider advance with over four seconds difference on compatriot, Rolf-Göran Bengtsson and Zuccero HV (VDL Zirocco Blue).
With the rails untouched but one time penalty, Switzerland's Barbara Schnieper followed in a fourth spot. Schnieper and Canice (Cascadello) were followed by Belgium's Gregory Wathelet and his 14-year-old Ace Of Hearts (Aliandro B).
