Lauren Hough and Ohlala top the Washington Grand Prix

At the international world cup leg in USA's Capital, Washington DC the crowd got what they asked for, International top level sport. The Washington International Horse Show saw an incredible sport with last week's Tryon CSI5* GP-winner, Nicola Philippaerts and the 9-year-old H&M Harley vd Bisschop (by dulf van den Bisschop) eventually placing 9th.

A total of 130,000 USD was divided in this 1.60m Grand Prix. Eventually it was Lauren Hough and the 12-year-old Orlando-mare Ohlala who claimed victory after a clear jump-off in 36.56 seconds. Compatriote, Laura Kraut and the 9-year-old Confu (by Contact Me) followed as runner-up after a clear finish in 37.80 seconds.

The stage was completed by USA speed devil, Kent Farrington. Farrington set the fastest time, crossing the line in 34.28 seconds. With the 9-year-old KWPN-gelding Creedance (by Lord Z) under the saddle he eventually jumped one rail down, placing third.

Also Beezie Madden collected a total of four points. Aboard the 12-year-old Kannan-son Quinster she followed Farrington in a fourth place. The top five was completed by Aaron Vale and Finou (by For Pleasure). Last one in the Jump-off was Catherine Nicole Tyree.

Earlier this week Tyree jumped to victory in the 1.45m. Today she settled for a sixth place aboard the 12-year-old Belgian Warmblood gelding Enjoy Louis (by Coriano).
