What a sport and what an atmosphere! The 43 riders at the start of the Rolex Grand Prix had quickly realized that this course was on the level of the prize money. As so often, Steve excelled himself once again and jumped in the saddle of Bianca to perfection, with accuracy, rhythm and an exceptional tact. And Bianca has fulfilled all expectations, obviously felt very comfortable on this difficult course and full of energy. Clear in the first round, Steve had attacked for sure in the jump-off but without taking the last risk, and was beaten by just one second.
Bianca, very talented for showjumping, already classified in 3rd place in the main competition on Friday.
On Saturday Steve also showed good courses jumping on 7th place with Kavalier in a 145cm competition. And with the 8-year-old Dioleen he finished 10th in a 140cm competition.
