Gijón, Spain – August 28, 2025 – More than 9,000 fans have closely followed the big CSI 4* test, the €56,800 Funeraria Gijonesa Special TwoPhase Challenge CSI 4*. A special two-phase track with a maximum height of 1.50m that very few were able to finish without knocking down. There were 50 combinations but only 15 have finished the course without knocking down any poles. A complex test where 56,800 euros were distributed.

The Irishman Mark Mcauley led the test from the beginning. He was number 9 in the starting order and no one was able to surpass him during the more than two hours that followed. The two who have come closest to doing so were the Spaniard Eduardo Álvarez Aznar (ESP), with Made In’T Ruytershof, and the Dutch Jur Vrieling (NED) with Cornet Blue PS.
