Penelope Leprevost was smiling from ear to ear after Flora de Mariposa jumped double clear in the Longines Grand Prix of La Baule to end 2nd. The extraordinary mare was also double clear in Friday's Nations Cup, showing fantastic consistency. All photos (c) Tiffany van Halle for World of Showjumping.

He gave it his everything, and it worked out! Jerome Guery never gives up and never quits, and despite a disappointing Nations Cup performance with Papillon Z he came back strong to win the Grand Prix with the stunning Grand Cru van de Rozenberg.

Another one that impressed was Margie Goldstein-Engle, who rode double clear in the Nations Cup and in the Grand Prix on Royce - and probably made a big climb on Robert Ridland's Olympic short-list.

Steve Guerdat's mare Bianca jumped incredible, and was very unlucky to have a pole down in the first round.
