Nerves, stress, happiness, relief: World of Showjumping went behind the scenes during the jump-off in the Rolex Grand Prix in Den Bosch. Jos Verlooy and Sunshine were first to go in the jump-off and they pulled off a great clear round - ending fourth. Here Sunshine with his groom Jenny. Photos (c) Jenny Abrahamsson.
Full speed into the ring for Leopold van Asten with VDL Groep Zidane N.O.P. with Aurelie coming after.
Willem Greve pulled off a fantastic jump-off with Carambole N.O.P. that was very fast, and it looked like it would be heard to beat. In the end only two horse-and-rider combinations managed to be faster.

Run Sean, run!
Netherland's Chef d'Equipe Rob Ehrens had a busy time during the jump-off with four riders in it. He was giving all his riders some last advice before entering the ring - here Gert Jan Bruggink with Vampire.
And here Jur Vrieling with VDL Zirocco Blue N.O.P.

It wasn't Jur Vrieling's jump-off, but VDL Zirocco Blue N.O.P. still deserved a treat.
Hans-Dieter Dreher was the first one that managed to be faster than Willem Greve, with his Cool and Easy. So after his round, Hansi flew off to take a look at the ones riding after him.
Full focus for Team Patteet (looking good Joost!).
Simon Delestre is the new number one on the Longines Ranking, but in the Rolex Grand Prix he had to settle for the fifth place after being the fastest of the four faulters.
The winners - Marcus Ehning and Cornado NRW - on their way into the ring.
The last rider: Scott Brash with Hello Forever entered the ring at the same time as Marcus' groom Kay Neatham and Germay's team vet Jan-Hein Swagemakers were celebrating Marcus' amazing jump-off.
