Equestrian News Release
In the seven-horse jump-off of the Grand Prix Longines in La Baule Jos Lansink proved to be fastest with his 14-year-old Holsteiner stallion Spender S (by Silbersee). They finished the course, which was designed by Frederic Cottier, nearly three seconds faster than runners-up Malin Baryard-Johnsson and her Westphalian H&M Actrice W (by Ars Vivendi). Third place went to Germany's Marcus Ehning and Noltes Küchengirl (Bayern by Lord Z)
Meydan FEI Nations Cup:
In a fantastic fight to the finish, the Swiss team pipped the feisty Swedes for the very first Meydan FEI Nations Cup™ honours at La Baule in France today.
After two gruelling rounds, the countries were tied on a score of eight faults each, so it came down to a thrilling jump-off between Swiss veteran Marcus Fuchs and Sweden's Svante Johansson.
The Netherlands and Germany shared third place following a tremendous recovery by the latter who very nearly slipped out of contention at the end of round one, and France returned to top-level team jumping with a solid performance that put them into fifth ahead of Belgium in sixth, the USA in seventh and Italy in eighth place.
