Jessica Springsteen (USA) and the 12-year-old mare Volage du Val Henry (Quidam de Revel x Cassini I) won Friday’s 1.50m class with a jump-off at Sweden International Horse Show in Stockholm.
Ten horse-and-rider combinations qualified for the jump-off, where half of them yet again delivered clear rounds. With a small margin of 0.04 seconds, Springsteen left Ben Maher (GBR) and Ginger-Blue (Plot Blue x Royal Bravour) behind her in runner-up position.
Third place went to Olivier Philippaerts (BEL) and Miro (Diamant de Semilly x Kannan), 0.54 seconds behind the winning time. Ioli Mytilineou (GRE) and I’Artiste de Toxandra (Toulon x Kashmir van Schuttershof) took the fourth place, while Harrie Smolders (NED) and Dolinn N.O.P. (Cardento x Lux) ended fifth.
