Sanne Thijssen Soars to Victory in CSIYH1* Two Phase Special 1.30m/1.35m Class
July 26, 2024The Young Horses were the first in the impeccable grass arena this morning for the CSIYH1* Two Phase Special 1.30m/1.35m class for 6 and 7 year old horses.
Top rider Sanne Thijssen took the top spot on the podium after a beautiful, fast round with her seven-year-old KWPN gelding Monfaut Gumo MP (Comme Il Faut 5 x Numero Uno). During the round, the 25-year-old from Sevenum felt she was not fast enough, “I had a very good feeling, but I thought I was not fast enough for the win. However, it turned out to be enough. Gumo feels best on grass and especially on such nice grass like here in Valkenswaard.”
Danish rider Christian Svendgaard finished second aboard Capitano d'Augustijn Z (Zang, H&M Cabrio van de Heffinck x Winningmood), making him the best six-year-old in this exciting competition. Maikel van der Vleuten came in third with the seven-year-old Horizontal (Casall x Quick Star), a breeding product of Tops Stables.
