Hans-Dieter Dreher (GER) and Jiniki (Dallas x Cantos) won Friday's CSI5* 1.45m Gemeente ‘s-Hertogenbosch Prize at the 2025-edition of The Dutch Masters.

“She did a top job today,” Dreher told World of Showjumping after his victory. “I know she is a really fast and careful horse, but today she was unbelievable. From the beginning to the end, I kept going, and I could go, because she was so focused on the fences.”

As the second pair to go in the competition, Spain’s Eduardo Alvarez Aznar and d’Orient Batilly (Numero Uno x Quaprice Boismargot Quincy) set the standard with a time of 59.18, taking an early lead and holding it throughout the competition – until the third last pair, Dreher and Jiniki ented the ring. Stopping the clock on 57.64, the German duo took over the lead, while the penultimate pair Koen Vereecke (BEL) and Oilily de Muze (Vigo d’Arsouilles x Nirmette) slotted into second when crossing the finish line in 58.99, pushing Aznar to third and leaving the win for Dreher.

Max Kühner (AUT) and EIC Up Too Jacco Blue (Chacco-Blue x Ard VDL Douglas) finished in fourth in 60.41, followed by Harrie Smolders (NED) and Kaspar R (Eldorado vd Zeshoek x Baloubet du Rouet) fifth in 60.79.
