Petronella Andersson (SWE) on the 13-year-old gelding Entre Nous (Conan Z x Ohio van de Padenborre) took the beautiful Piazza di Siena arena in Rome by storm on the opening day of the CSIO5* competition.

Out of a field of 45 horse-and-rider combinations, Andersson took the top honours in the 1.50m against the clock class presented by Land Rover with a time of 65,91 seconds. Second place went to Shane Sweetnam (IRL) on the 9-year-old mare Indra van de Oude Heihoef (Casantos x Action-Breaker) with a time of 66,26 seconds.
