This young British rider, who was also previously the winner of the CSI2*Grand Prix here, and today rode a faultless round with his mare "Havinia Van de Roshoeve" that was nearly 6s faster than the experienced Dutch rider Eric Van der Vleutenriding “Djoost Again” owned by Marta Ortega, who took second.

The1.45m Big TourC, was won by 71 yr old, Michel Robert from France riding the mare “Emerette” and beating 50 other competitors.  “I have all the experience in my head but the spirit of an 18yr old.  I have no problem with being the oldest competitor here at the Tour, as I feel like a kid.”

 
In second place was the Canadian rider, Kara Chad who is currently riding under the wing Eric Lamaze, on his very fast mare, “Viva”.  They have been competing together since last year and already have some great results in 4 and 5* International events.
