A kiss for the winner! Gancia de Muze did it again on Sunday, winning her third Rolex Grand Prix. The first one came at the Stephex Brussels Masters last year, then she won at the Dutch Masters back in March and on Sunday at Knokke Hippique. Her rider Niels Bruynseels was quick to acknowledge his special mare, saying "she was the one that won today". Our guess would be that Niels had a bit to do with it too... With this we look back at the Rolex Grand Prix powered by Audi at Knokke Hippique. All photos (c) Tiffany Van Halle.
Knokke Hippique is a unique show, from A to Z.
With free entrance, it was packed for Sunday's Rolex Grand Prix powered by Audi and an amazing atmosphere!
It's not always things go according to plan...
...but it did for Darragh Kenny and Balou du Reventon that finished second despite a relatively new partnership.
William Whitaker and Utamaro d'Ecaussinnes did two amazing rounds to end third.
Bianca was flying high as usual, jumping to fourth place with Steve Guerdat in the saddle.
How happy Adrienne Sternlicht was after an incredible double clear with her amazing Cristalline, putting them fifth.
Clinta jumped out of this world in the first round, but unfortunately for her and McLain Ward it did not go quite as planned in the jump-off.
The jump-off was a real race, here Lorenzo De Luca and Halifax van het Kluizebos that finished 6th. De Luca was awarded as Leading Rider of CSI5* Knokke Hippique.
Team Bruynseels out in full force.
Gancia de Muze and her groom Franck Delvallet.
The top three: Niels Bruynseels, Darragh Kenny and William Whitaker.
