With Albführen's Maddox slightly injured on his arrival in Poland, it was his beautiful grey IS-Minka that Steve entrusted with the Prix des Nations on Sunday, the first exercise of its kind for the friendly mare.
The first attempt was almost a masterstroke, as it was only on the very last obstacle of the second run that IS-Minka made her only touchdown of the exercise, but she showed great promise.
All in all, a slight frustration for the Swiss, who would have crossed the line for victory with one less fault, but what a thrilling event once again, and a good omen for the Barcelona final at the end of September.
On Friday, IS-Minka had committed 2 late faults in the Grand-Prix, while Looping Luna was still learning the ropes with Steve, committing a fault here and there in the framing tests.
