The dream turf, a record crowd, ideal weather and top riders - everything was in place to make this weekend in St. Gallen go down in history.
The Swiss quartet with Edouard Schmitz, Bryan Balsiger, Martin Fuchs and Steve fulfilled the expectations of the Swiss public and celebrated a historic success in the Nations Cup, which is very popular with both riders and equestrian fans.
Bravo, gentlemen, and only three pairs managed the double zero fault ride, including Bryan and Steve, what a demonstration.
On Sunday, Steve closed one of the few gaps in his fabulous track record as he won the Swiss Cup for the first time with Easy Star de Talma, who was remarkably light on his feet and untouchable at the end.
In the Grand Prix, Steve and Venard unfortunately had a mistake at the last obstacle. For they were the first not to make it to the second round.
Further placings with the young horses.
