Press release from Knokke Hippique

Knokke Hippique is back for week three at the beautiful Belgian seaside. Today was the first day of qualifying classes for the this weekend’s Grand Prix classes. 

The CSI3* Grand Prix qualifier, presented by STX Motorhomes, was run as a 1.45m Table A against the clock, and had a total of 75 starters. The course was technical and the jumps came quickly. In the end it was the Belgian rider Dominique Hendrickx who could clinch the win on his mount Vintadge de La Roque (Kannan x Galoubet A). This was not Hendrickx's first achievement at Knokke Hippique, having spent the whole three week tour here already enjoying a multitude of successes. 

The second place went to another Belgian rider, Karel Cox and Kill Bill Max (Toulon x Quintus d'09), who was only 00.20s slower. Third place was awarded to Brazil's Eduardo Pereira De Menezes and Calypso des Matis (Padock du Plessis*HN x Tresor de Cheux), who has been relishing a successful tour at Knokke Hippique so far and is currently the overall leading 3* rider and in for a chance of winning an STX 2 Horse truck for a year.
