Gregory Wathelet victorious in CSI3* Grand Prix of Kronenberg

Earlier this week a CSIO3* Nations Cup was already on the programme at De Peelbergen but just now another highlight of the weekend was run: the 1m55 Grand Prix. Of the 55 starting combinations, 11 managed to jump a clear first round. A jump-off with eleven therefore had to determine winner and loser.

Riding Nevados S (by Calvados Z), Wathelet set a dazzling time (38.08 seconds) that no other combination was able to top.
