Ocala, Florida, United States – February 07, 2025 – Ilan Bluman (COL) and Acajou have had their breakout moment this season competing at the World Equestrian Center – Ocala. After winning the $200,000 Armed Services Grand Prix CSI 4* six days before the dynamic duo proved that they are more than one trick pony, adding another victory to their record.

This time, the Colombian and the 10-year-old German Sport Horse mare were supreme in the $32,000 Winning Round CSI 4*, a 1.45m class that was contested by 22 combinations. Their lightning-fast clean performance in 34.35 seconds proved to be too much for the rest of the field, earning them first place.

Another consistent rider at the venue the past two weeks, Caitlin Boyle (USA) and Navaar gave the eventual winners a run for their money, finishing second in 35.24 seconds.

Olympic Gold Medalist Harry Charles (GBR) and Sherlock solved the case of the course twice too, rounding out the top three in 35.87 seconds.
