"After the first Global Champions Tour in Miami, I left for Mexico on Monday, late in the evening. I arrived in the hotel at 1 am and I went straight to bed.
Tuesday, the horses arrived as well. We decided the give them some rest first, so I first started riding them after lunch. I thought it was important they got to move g a little bit after their trip. I ended the day with a dinner in the hotel.
The next day I was in the saddle at 8.45 am already. I started riding Zilverstar and after I saddled Forever. Both horses felt quite brisk, even after the trip from Miami to Mexico. In the afternoon I rode in the big grass arena as well. The show seemed to be well organized and the quality of the grass was great.
Thursday I started working in the stables at 7 am. Quite early, but it is very hot here, so I decided to ride Zilverstar and Forever in the morning, when the sun hasn't reached its highest point yet. In the afternoon I watched the warm up of the 2-star riders. We lunched at an Italian restaurant. On Friday, I rode my horses in the morning again. Zilverstar had to jump the first class, a 1.45m class. He jumped good and wasn't too spooky about the fences. With Forever I got the last to fences in the last straight line down.
Saturday was a great day for Zilverstar! We won the 1m50-class, a class against the clock. The cours wasn't so easy to ride and not many riders managed to ride a clear round. In the Grand Prix Forever didn't catch his form so we didn't do so well... Off to the next!
During the last day, the Global Champions League, a new team competition was ridden. I started with Forever, but he seemed a bit tired and got two faults. At 9.40 am I'll be flying to London, where I'll take a plane to Düsseldorf. I hope I'll by home by 7.00 pm after two great weeks in Mexico City and Miami Beach. Thursday we will be starting at our next show: The Global Champions Tour of Antwerp".
