Show jumpers took the stage in Helsinki on Saturday evening with a goal to collect as many points as possible in as little time as possible. Several riders amassed maximum points, but Finnish Petra Heikkinen on Hurby cleared the accumulator class the fastest. Second place went to Austria with Katharina Rhomberg and Lust for Live. Pipsa Koski doubled the Finnish celebrations and took the third place with Iprimero.

“Hurby is quick and fast and today we both did well. Our goal was to win once in Helsinki and we did it,” Heikkinen said after the competition.
Also the third placed Pipsa Koski was happy with her round.
“It feels good. The horse did his best until the end of the course, he was careful and I’m really happy. It’s always nice to ride in front of a home crowd – the audience cheers for us and it’s great to see them happy for us especially when we do well.”
