CHI Geneva 2016

Got to love this horse: The lovely H&M Legend of Love finished second with Olivier Philippaerts. “I added one more stride to the last vertical to be safe and that cost me the first place. I am still super happy with my horse and I think it is a very special horse for the future,” Olivier explained at the press conference.
