Netherlands to the fore in GLOCK’s CSI2* accumulator!

The Netherlands ahead of Australia and Ireland. That’s how the podium looked following the second GLOCK’s CSI2* Tour, which was conducted as a jumping competition accumulator over 1.45 m. Thirty participating duos went to the start, whilst nine managed unblemished clear rounds to achieve the full score of 65 points. Particularly at the last obstacle, the both narrow and high joker upright, many lost their chance to prevail as a result of a knockdown.

Ben Schroeder (NED), on the other hand, did everything right. The brother of GLOCK Rider Gerco Schroeder deftly guided eleven-year-old Complemento, son of Contender, with the correct measure of risk through the course and took first place in 51.39 seconds. "This is my first time here in my brother’s second sporting home. The conditions here are simply top class, for which I would like to thank the Gaston and Kathrin Glock family on everyone’s behalf. If things carry on this way, I can count myself lucky!" said the likeable Dutchman in the winner’s interview.

Aged nine years, Blanez jumped through the test both fast and without penalties under Jamie Winning (AUS), achieving second place in 53.32 seconds. Third place went to Jack Dodd (IRL) who, in the saddle on High Valley, bred in Belgium, also allowed no penalties to occur (54.06).
