Leipzig, Germany – January 1, 2025 – A Dutchman dominated the feature class on opening day of the 2025 Partner Pferd – Leipzig CSI 5*-W. Held Thursday evening, Jur Vrieling (NED) and Kannan Jr. sped past the competition in the €10,150 Uvex Sports Prize CSI 5*-W.
The 1.45m speed challenge was contested by 57 combinations but it was Vrieling who was victorious aboard the 10-year-old grey Dutch Warmblood stallion (Cornet Obolensky x Quick Star), leaving all the poles up before crossing the finish lines towards victory in 56.42 seconds.
Almost a second a half behing, it was “the young gun” representing the host nation, Philipp Schulze Topphoff (GER), who came the closest aboard Corny M (Connor x For Pleasure).
Perhaps the winningest rider the past two months, Hans-Dieter Dreher (GER) rounded out the top another of his stellar Selle Français mounts, this time riding Forpleasure du Moulin (For Pleasure x Chin) just four-hundredths of a second behind the latter two.
