Young Horses Table A – One round

13 from 36 starters in the 6 & 7 year old horses jumped clean in the one round table A with the best time determining the winner. The track was flowing with  true distances, two one stride doubles and a liverpool under an oxer were enough challenges for the young horses.

Filipe Ramos Guinato (BRA) won the Young Horse class riding the 7 year old Silvia Balsco Villalonga’s Stallion Quoit Or. (above)

“I have had the ride on this horse since it was a 4 year old as Silvia bought it especially for me to ride,” commented Filipe. “The dividends are paying off with this very nice horse and I am very happy with the way he is making good progress though the young horse classes.  This French bred stallion (L’Arc de Triomphe x Le Toto)has very good prospects for the future if all goes to plan.

Maikel van der Vleuten (NED) continued to excel with VDL Groep Aristo Z,  owned by Stoeterij Duyselshof.  The six year old stallion by Air Jordan (above) was placed 2^nd also yesterday being the best performed 6 year old.

Line Raaholt from Norway, was third with Hestecompanier’s 6 year old Abrisco V.(below)
