Angelica Augusstson took her new ride LB Sir Singular (Singular Joter x Graf Grannus) to the show – a horse previously ridden by Christina Liebherr. The pair was placed in Friday’s 1.45 class.

Nifrane de Kreisker (Carnute x Papillon Rouge) was also out jumping with her new rider Aleksander Onishchenko.
In Salzburg Steve Guerdat rode his new mare Nasa (Cumano x Prince d’Elle), previously ridden by Niels Bruynseels and purchased for Steve about a month ago. The pair was placed in the 1.45 on Thursday, and had four faults in the 1.55 on Saturday.
