The CSIO 1.45 Young Rider Grand Prix in Wierden went to Austria’s Victoire Martin on Viper van Huize Ruisdael (Feliciano x Dark D’Amour). With only one of two double clear rounds in this class, Martin was 0.42 seconds faster than Italy’s Filippo Garzilli on Adelscot (Stakkato x Contender). Third – with the fastest time in the jump-off, but on the expense of a rail – was Belgium’s Pieter Kenis on Grey van de Castanoschans (Clinton x Lys de Darmen).
In the CSIO 1.40 Junior Grand Prix, Lichtenstein’s Vanessa-Joy Nägele went to the top riding Energie Des Trois Bouleaux (Toulon x Orlando).

Close behind in 35.55 seconds followed the Netherland’s Kelly Jochems on Zelena (Baloubet du Rouet x Ahorn), while Great Britain’s Harry Charles was third on Vivaldi du Dom (Casall x Veneur du Prelet).
