Tuesday, 11 March 2014 CSI4* Braunschweig (GER)

Great success for GLOCK rider Robert Puck

The Löwen Classics horse show has a long history in Braunschweig, Germany and again welcomed many international star riders to the CSI4* and CSIYH this year from 6 to 9 March. It included no fewer than five jumping competitions counting for the world rankings. GLOCK rider Robert Puck also saw it as an opportunity to gain valuable points for the rankings. 

On Friday, Robert produced an excellent clear round on GLOCK’s Zaranza in the jumping in two phases, a qualifier for the Medium Tour (1.45 m). In view of the stiff competition he was delighted to finish ninth. Riding GLOCK’s Ambelina JB in the 1.50 m Medium Tour final on Saturday, the Carinthian again remained fault free, not only securing the impressive fourth place in the fast jump-off but also collecting a whole lot of points for the Longines rankings. GLOCK’s Zaranza also jumped extremely well: in the world ranking competition for the Veolia Championship at a height of 1.50 m the KWPN stallion only had one fault to claim 18th.
