Olivier Philippaerts and H&M Legend of Love conquer the Audi Prize at Indoor Brabant

Olivier Philippaerts and H&M Legend of Love conquer the Audi Prize at Indoor Brabant
They are realy fabulous. Belgium's super pair, Olivier Philippaerts and H&M Legend of Love shined in the spotlight after their win in the CSI5* 1.55m Audi Prize at the Indoor Brabant. Last year Philippaerts appeared unbeatable in the prestigious Audi Prize and this year again.

A total of ten combinations returned for the jump-off designed by Louis Konickx.  Ruben Romp immediately started off with a risky, but excellent jump-off aboard Audi’s Teavanta II C Z in the Audi Prize. They stopped  the clock at 39.22 seconds. A great time, but Ireland’s Bertram Allen was determined to better it. Riding his mount Quiet Easy 4 (Quidam’s Rubin x Zapateado) he finished in an amazing time of 36.18 seconds, but unfortunately jumped down the back rail of the last oxer.

Straight after Belgium’s Olivier Philippaerts rode an excellent jump-off aboard the 10-year-old mare H&M Legend of Love (Landzauber x Corgraf), stopping the clock at 37.10 seconds. Eventually Scott Brash and Hello Guv´Nor (by Diamant de Semilly) finished in a second place. Rolf-Göran Bengtsson and Clarimo ASK followed in a third place.

Ruben Romp and Sheikh Ali Bin Khalid  Al Thani (Vienna Olympic) completed the top five in a fourth and fifth place.
