Simpson wins in Prague
Last weekend a top class show jumping competition took place in the Czech capital Prague. More precisely, a CSIO3* was held.
On the final Sunday over 150cm an Irishman stood in front. In the jumping over two rounds David Simpson was the fastest. In the saddle of his KWPN gelding Foudre, he took the lead. Already last week, the Irishman finished 4th in the World Cup show jumping with the Namelus R- son.
Besides Simpson, only one other rider was clear. That was the young German Philip Houston. The multiple Nations Cup rider in the U21 range was able to take 2nd place with Sandro S Bella.
On the third place one finds the Japanese Koki Saito. He recorded a time fault in the second round in the saddle of the twelve-year-old OS stallion Chilensky.
In addition to Houston, other Germans were also able to score points over the entire weekend.
In the two-phase jumping competition on Friday afternoon, Patrick Stühlmeyer took fifth place with a ten-year-old daughter of Clarimo "Cloudless".
Up-and-coming amazons Pheline Ahlmann and Zoe Osterhoff were also still in the top 15.
In the Sunday jumping of the Silver Tour, Mario Stevens with the Mylord Carthago daughter Marlou finished as the best German in 4th place.
