Emil Hallundbaek (DEN) and High Nitro ( Empire – Ex Secret Pride x Cobra) were also double, turning the afterburner in the jump-off to secure the runner-up position in 38.34 seconds.

Third place was claimed by Fanny Skalli (FRA) and Jonka-A (Cardento 933), registering no penalties and a final time of 38.68 seconds.

Winner’s Circle – Marcus Ehning (GER)

“I am very happy with Cristy. She has a lot of experience in 5* but I wanted to allow her to make an easy week to resume competition. At the dam she was able to show all her qualities and her natural speed. I had fun! I was here two weeks ago. This competition is great. What the organization does is really great, especially in the current context. It is really a pleasure to be here and we are lucky to be able to count on organizers like those at the Hubside Jumping who do a lot for us.

Cristy will be back on track next weekend in the CSI 4*. I do not yet know exactly what events she will do because I am lucky to have several very good horses with me here in Grimaud. But I’m happy to stay an extra week here to compete!”

Les Impressions de Marcus Ehnings (GER)

Je suis très heureux de Cristy. Elle a beaucoup d’expérience en 5* mais je voulais lui permettre de faire une semaine facile pour reprendre la compétition. Au barrage elle a pu montrer toutes ses qualités et sa rapidité naturelle. Je me suis bien amusé! J’étais présent ici il y a deux semaines. Ce concours est formidable. Ce que fait l’organisation est vraiment super, d’autant plus dans plus le contexte actuel. C’est vraiment un plaisir d’être ici et nous avons de la chance de pouvoir compter sur des organisateurs comme ceux de l’Hubside Jumping qui font beaucoup pour nous.

Cristy sera de retour en piste le week-end prochain dans le CSI 4*. Je ne sais pas encore exactement quelles épreuves elle fera car j’ai la chance d’avoir plusieurs très bons chevaux avec moi ici à Grimaud. Mais je suis heureux à l’idée de rester une semaine de plus ici pour concourir!
