Vejer de La Frontera, Spain – February 17, 2022 – It was a stunning Thursday, during the second week of the Andalucía Sunshine Tour, both the weather and the jumping were just perfect. The Big Tour class also served as a qualifier for the Grand Prix CSI 4* next Sunsay, the class was almost a showcase for Germany. Three riders out of the top 4 riders were German and only the French legend that is ‘Bosty’, managed to break their hegemony. The winner of the class was Jana Wargers (GER), who had a cracking round with ‘Chacco’s Lady 2’, their time in the second phase was very fast just, 28.76 seconds.
The mare is ten this year and has bloodlines to dream of. She is by the incredible ‘Chacco-Blue’ with the dam sire, ‘Indoctro’ and she just oozes quality and a is great example of the horses that are owned by Ashford Farm & Jos Lansink Horses. She has already had great results here at the Tour with a second place in the 1.50m, Medium Tour GP, earlier on the 13th of this month.
The second place on the podium was claimed double Olympic rider, Roger Yves Bost (FRA), fondly know as ‘Bosty’. Bosty was part of the French Team that won the Rio Olympics and has competed in numerous World Equestrian Games and World Cup Finals, his current world ranking is 107. Today he was riding ‘Cassius Clay VDV Z’ (Calvino Z) , and took second place in 29.43s fending off a German whitewash at the top of the leaderboard. Bronze honors was earned by Jens Baackmann (GER) with ‘Nomanee’ and in fourth was Laura Klaphake (GER) with ‘Davenport VDL’. Fifth place was taken by Colombian rider Carlos López Lizarazo (COL) with the lovely ‘Admara 2’.
