In a star-studded field that counted top riders such as Anna Zibrandtsen on Detroit, Carl Hedin on Van Der Veen, Olympic reserves Charlotte Heering and Bufranco, Nadja Aabo Sloth on Favor Gersdrof and many more!

With that, Blue Hors riders Nanna Skodbord Merrald and Cristian Tudela Ruiz had plenty of competition for the number 1 position of the International Grand Prix as they entered the evening, riding Blue Hors Don Olymbrio and Blue Hors Zick Flower.

With the son, Gammelgaards O’Connor, starting in the national Grand Prix with breeder Carsten Gammelgaard in the saddle, the warm-up to see the sire stallion behind many talented offspring had already been laid.

And what an achievement! And what a victory!
