Renowned Swedish rider and trainer Jens Fredricson rode his horse Adele K. to victory in Saturday’s international 1* opening class. The pair had already been seen in the arena on previous days, but today they were in particularly good form, which carried them all the way to victory. Jens’s insights were also shared during the show jumping clinics on Thursday and Saturday.
Saturday got off to a strong start for the Finns, with no fewer than seven Finnish riders placing among the top nine in the CSI 1* 135 cm competition presented by WHG.
In second place was Nelli Pajuharju, riding her horse Callie at a brisk pace. Nelli said the course went well and that her horse felt great today, now that the nervousness of the previous days had given way to calm. She will continue this evening in the 1* 140 cm class presented by Fazer on her horse Cascada.
Vera Sorvoja, riding Little Q M, placed third. Fourth was Sofia Granat on Lecafu, fifth was Linda Telimaa on Chilli R, and sixth was Susanna Granroth on Ciselina BVL Z. Patricia Ivanitskiy on Birte Star K Z and Vilja Hiidenheimo on Lenada also finished among the top nine.
