The five- and six-year-olds have completed the first part of the WBFSH Studbooks Jumping Global Champions Trophy. Mark HDH (by Gladstone HDH) jumped to second place in the 1.35m.

Under Tereza Vesela, Mark HDH (Gladstone HDH out of Izi Rider HDH sport-spr by Cream On Top, breeder Hans Dings from Heeze) delivered the second-fastest faultless result in the 1.35m class for six-year-olds. Among the five-year-olds, Nagano van de Hagenhorst placed eighth (Aganix du Seigneur out of Dobelle-S ster sport-spr by Triomphe de Muze, breeder H.C. Verhagen from Alkmaar) under Don Willemsen and therefore achieved the best result for KWPN. They remained entirely faultless in this 1.25m class, along with the KWPN-approved stallion No Jokes ACM (Untouchable out of Florentina elite sport-jumping D-OC by Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve, breeders Annemieke van der Horst-Meeuws and rider Casper Meegdes), who finished fourteenth.

Tomorrow, both the five- and eight-year-olds will compete again, and the first part of the program for seven-year-olds will take place at Tops International Arena in Valkenswaard.
