Yeah, 11 combinations jumpoff is pretty good.

Interesting fact, 13 stages of the WC season will have 13 different winners, as no previous winner has made this jump-off.

Amazing day for Henrik von Eckermann. After the silver at 2017 ECh in Goteborg he back to win at home

Yvonne Losos de Muniz received a wild card for the dressage WC final in Paris next month. Very well deserved, as 2018 started incredibly well for her.

 

From being stuck at low to mid 60s, including disappointing 61% from Rio, she is now hitting 70% competition after competition.

 

All qualifiers for the dressage and jumping WC finals in Paris will be known after this weekend.

Final dressage qualifier in 's-Hertogenbosch just started with a Grand Prix. Live stream is available here.

Damn, Barbancon & Sir Donnerhall needed like 3 strides to cover the whole arena in the extended canter.

Annabelle Collins & Joyero 68%+ at their first International. Awesome.

 

I hoped to see her switching to more International classes (in recent years she appeared at many national shows in Spain) after Tokyo 2020 qualification system came out, which basically secures a quota place for Bermuda. This is a briliant start of her campaign.
