Vejer de La Frontera, Spain – January 24 , 2025 – The Milton arena was the location of the €28,200 Longines Ranking Special Two Phase Challenge CSI 3* on Friday. There were 46 entries and competition was very hot. In the end, it was the Dutch rider, Rogier Linssen (NED) with his 10-year-old mare Moneypenny (Sea Coast Don’t Touch Tiji), owned by Esperanza Imports. They flew around the second phase to win the class in just 23.06 seconds, an important result for this combination in the second week here at the Andalucía Pre-Sunshine Tour, and a consolidation of their results from last week in the 2* where they took a second and seventh place.

Kendra Claricia Brinkop (GER) was second with the very fast Surprising Dream S.H.O.Z (Stakkato x Carthago Z) in just 23.50 seconds.

Joshua Hutchins (GBR), on his first outing here with Kyrah (Zapatero VDL x VDL Zirocco Blue) took a well deserved third place, in 23.84 seconds.
