She did it again! Natalie Magyer (AUT/NÖ) wins the GLOCK's Amateur Tour Finale!

Today 26 participants in the GLOCK's Amateur Tour Finale over 1.30 m made for thrilling sports action. Those who wanted to have a real say in the race for that victory in the finale they so crave had to remain error-free in the basic course and then again give it all in the decisive jump-off. Seven duos secured this chance, three of whom came from Austria.
 
Yesterday’s winner Gudrun Pirker (AUT/St) showed fantastic timing in the saddle of her Alpenspan Citadelle. Error-free and in 37.11 she completed the jump-off and everything already pointed to a triumph for the speedy Styrian rider.
 
But the next participant was able to top Gudrun Pirker’s performance! Just as in the past year, Natalie Magyer (AUT/NÖ) counted on her Hanoverian mare Corona 2 in GLOCK's Amateur Tour. From scratch, the duo went for full risk, mastered the jumps error-free despite high speed and tight turns and she was able to celebrate her second GLOCK's Amateur Tour final victory in 36.22 seconds.
 
Roya Saberi (SUI) on her 13-year-old Landor daughter Landliebste came second in 36.98 seconds. Thus she pushed Gudrun Pirker to an ultimate third place.
 
Tanja Maderthaner on Alessa 4 achieved fourth place for Carinthia in the jump-off, Mario Tschaitschmann (AUT/K) was, with Ria de Janeiro, the fastest rider though with one error, thus coming eighth. Michael Kilga (AUT/NÖ) on Merlin DZ as well as Katharina Leitsberger (AUT/K) on Alexia 2 made it to placings as tenth and eleventh despite taking a rail down in the basic course.
