After the CHIO of Rotterdam, another international show was planned on Dutch soil in Peelbergen Equestrian Centern Kronenberg, last weekend. It was again a successful weekend for our blue/yellow colors with among others a victory and a 2nd place during the CSI2* GP.

The victory in that CSI2* GP was reserved for the Dutch rider Gerben Morsink with his 14-year-old home bred stallion Navarone Z, a son of Nabab de Rêve and this in combination with Amor. Morsink and Navarone Z remained clear in the basic round and were therefore one of the 17 combinations that managed to qualify for the jump-off. They managed to repeat that flawless performance and with a finish time of 40.39 seconds they managed to beat the competition.

But also the 2nd place during this CSI2* GP colored blue and yellow thanks to Morsink's compatriot Sanne Thijssen with the 11-year-old mare Tippy Z (Tyson x Jetset-D - B: Ickenroth Emans). They also managed to ensure a clear round in the jump-off, but crossed the finish line in 40.47 seconds.

It was also another successful weekend for the Dutch rider Gert Jan Bruggink with his 9-year-old home bred grey gelding Vigalio Sho Z (Vigo d'Arsouilles x Come ON), with whom he finished 3rd a few weeks ago at the CSI2* GP of Opglabbeek. Bruggink and Vigalio Sho Z jumped on Thursday again to a nice 3rd place during the 1.45m high Longines Ranking class and during the CSI2* GP there was a 6th place for the duo.

Also on Sunday, the Dutch rider Doron Kuipers jumped to a top 10 ranking with the 10-year-old stallion I Am Codex Z, a son of our stallion Codex One Z and Calvaro Z, who was bred by Martinus van de Bruggen. During the 1.45m class they remained clear in both the basic round and the jump-off and this was good for an 8th place in the ranking.

Another striking combination last weekend was the Dutch rider Loewie Joppen with the 9-year-old chestnut stallion Add Picobello Z (Action-Breaker x Orlando – B: Picobello Horses). They started their show with a 7th place in the 1.40m class on Thursday and in the 1.40m class on Saturday followed a 5th place in the ranking.

During the 1.40m class on Friday, the Belgian rider Geoffrey Cobbaut secured a victory with the 7-year-old mare Bam's Girl Z (Bamako de Muze x Cruising - B: Projects BVBA Idona). In a class against the clock, Cobbaut and Bam's Girl Z rushed to the finishline in 67.79 seconds, which put them more than a full second ahead of the competition.

Finally, the Swiss lady rider Léa De Coulon also managed to jump to an 8th place with her 11-year-old chestnut gelding Goldfinger Z (Goldfever x Pilot – B: Tops Horse Trading BV). She managed to achieve this 8th place during the 1.45m GP Qualifier on Friday and this after a clear round.
