Femke Van den Bosch unbeatable at RMSJ

On Saturday the sun came out in Calgary at John Anderson's place. The Rocky Mountain Show Jumping had only two classes going on in the Grand Prix ring. In both classes Femke Van den Bosch proved to be unbeatable. First in the 1.20m class, early in the morning. After finishing her jump-off faultless in 47.95 seconds aboard Dereusa S.  Andrea Harris (Chile) came close with a time of 48.43 seconds. Followed closely by Chelsea Walsh and Mercury. In total 13 horse-rider combinations classified for the jump-off. Nine finished without touching the wood. The top five was completed by Shelby Edwards and Adelaide and Kim Rawn with Above and Beyond.

In the 1.30m class ending faultless proved to be a harder task. Entering first in the jump-off with her white stallion Bosch Blue, Femke van den Bosch finished her course clear in 42.54 seconds. A time only James Chawke (Peninsula Jupiter) knew to beat. Unfortunately the pair knocked one rail down, ending in the third place. Gareth Graves finished second with Babette. He also added the fifth place on his list with Forevor von Roch. Fourth in the class was Mariola Slawinski and Lavos Z. The pair rode their fence 1 to 2-line in 8 long strides, resulting in fourt points on the second fence of the jump off.
