Vejer de la Frontera, Spain – March 02, 2025 – Seventy competitors took to the arena today in the highlight class of the week, the €28,700 ClipMyHorse.TV Grand Prix CSI 2* set at 1.45 and held in the Milton geotextile arena. Fourth to go in the nine horse jump off was top Brazilian rider, Pedro Veniss (BRA) and CS Hortencia (Etoulon VDL x Cassini II). Pedro had been chasing Derin Demirsoy (TUR) , who had set the pace with a clear in 41.14 second and he really stepped up to the mark and took the lead in 39.22 seconds with a balanced and smooth winning round aboard the nine-year-old chestnut mare.

That meant that the Turkish rider, Derin (TUR) with another nine year old mare, Que Cera van’t Ruytershof (By Ceira d’Ick x Diamant de Semilly) and who had been first to go in the jump off, ended up taking a well deserved second place. These were the only two clear performances in the tiebreaker.

The third spot on the podium was claimed by the French rider, Olivier Robert (FRA) with the lovely grey stallion, Esprit du Figuier AA (Upsilon x Ryon d’Anzex) stopping the timers in 39.61 seconds, but this at the expense of one pole down.
