This week, the Central European League Final of the FEI Jumping World Cup™ Central European League - Southern Sub-League takes place at the 2025-edition of CSI4*-W Cavaliada Krakow in Poland, where Harm Lahde (GER) and Oak Grove’s Commander Bond (Comme Il Faut 5 x Lux Z) won Friday’s CSI4*-W 1.50m.

With a time of 36.76 in a jump-off between seven horse-and-rider combinations, Lahde and Oak Grove’s Commander Bond snatched the win from their compatriot Daniel Böttcher and Obora’s Little Richard (Luidam x Quality 9), who had to settle for the runner-up spot in 44.82.

Only the top two delivered a double clear result. A fence down in 38.75 left the hosts’ Marek Waclawik and Diaroubet (Diarado x Baloubet du Rouet) to third, while Vince Jarmy (HUN) on Carbon Girl Z (Chester Z x Baloubet du Rouet) finished fourth in 38.93 ahead of Jur Vrieling (NED) aboard Kannan Jr. (Cornet Obolensky x Quick Star) in fifth in 39.33 – both with four penalties.
