Nine clears in the first round advanced to the jump-off where the Dutch teenager Lieselot Kooremans triumphed to give herself a fantastic birthday present. In the saddle on Elando van de Roshoeve, a 20-year-old gelding, the 13-year-old again went clear when posting a time of 35.91 seconds.
Second was Annie Boland (Ireland) and her 14-year-old gelding K-Little Hero who was also faultless, but took 38.54 seconds. In third was Katie Bradburne (Great Britain) with the eight-year-old mare Westpoint Foreign Affair (0/39.09). The best-placed German starter in fourth was Hannah Blandfort and the 15-year-old stallion Karim van Orchid S (0/39.43).
“I really wanted to win and give myself a birthday present,” said the visibly surprised winner of the class, “It feels great to have won here.”
