Twelve stallions competed in the final for the Blom Stallion Competition in the M-class. Seven remained clear. The best odds were for Love Connects by Megan Laseur, they claimed the day prize. The competition was won by La Costa ES.

It was the night of Egbert Schep, his homebred horses won both the winner of the Blom Stallion Competition in the L- and M-class. Ridden by Gerd Jan Horsmans the willing Mosito van het Hellehof-son La Costa ES (out of Isolde ES elite sport-spr PROK by Cumano) kept zero faults result in both the basis course and the jump-off. “This is always a fantastic experience. You produce such a stallion from his third year onwards and it’s wonderful if it all comes together on a night like this”, tells Gerd Jan Horsmans excitedly. “His attitude is fantastic, he always wants to go to the oteher side, is careful and always on board. I think he is very intelligent.” According to Gerd Jan Horsmans it is no coincidence. “I ride his dam as well; she is 9 years old and jumps at 1.35m level. She is also incredibly eager, always draws towards the fence. It’s fun to ride both horses. It was exciting tonight; we have all worked very hard towards this the past few months and I was keen on winning the final. Pieter Keunen and Lambada Shake were breathing down our necks, it was a good battle.”
