She is only nine years old but No Limit-daughter Diva jumped fantastically and won the 1,50m NXP Semiconductors Prix of CSI Eindhoven. The Czech rider Emma Augier de Moussac took all risks and won after a spectacular round. The KWPN stallion Emir R impressed with a third.

It turned out to be a very spectacular jump-off in this 1,50 class at the sunlit CSI Eindhoven. Gert Jan Bruggink rode a sharp time of 44,15 seconds and many others could not even get near to that. Michael Greeve rode Emir R (Colman out of B.Termie R 23 elite EPTM-spr by Rubert R, breeder Stal Roelofs from Den Ham). They only recently progressed to this level, but the eight-year-old stallion shows that he is up to it. Michael Greeve went round fast, but Emir R was just not quick enough to beat Bruggink setting a time of 44,79 seconds.

'Best horse ever'

Hendrik-Jan Schuttert did really well with his eleven-year-old Balboa HS (stb.name Brammert B, Tygo out of Ukarla B keur IBOP prest by Furore, breeder Jan Busscher from Beilen). The gelding went easily clear in the first round and went well in the jump-off as well. His time was 45,03 seconden; in the end enough for fourth place. But last starter Emma Augier de Moussac was the one to watch for. The Czech rider could not be beaten with her scopy horse Diva (No Limit out of Zilvana Verte sport-spr by Ticallux Verte, breeder P. Knijnenburg from Deurne). “Diva is without a doubt the best horse I have ever ridden! I think she can help me further up in this sport. Our goal for this year is the Europeans”, Augier de Moussac expained afterwards. The student of Vincent Voorn went round full speed and won the class in the amazing time of 43,83 seconds.
