It was Great Britain’s Guy Williams from Canterbury Kent that kicked off the start of the show by winning the €6,000 prize fund class with his own fifteen year old chestnut mare, Orage.  Producing a great clear in a time of 23.17seconds they were just fast enough to relegate Brazilian rider Alvaro De Miranda to second place who finished in a fractionally slower time of 23.81seconds.

 

Guy also went on to take second place in the €10,000 class the following day with Titus II, another one of his talented horses where the pair completed the 1.45m course clear in a time that couldn’t be beaten.
