The bar was raised in Helsinki for the first time since 2016 when International Six Bar Jumping Invitational took place late Saturday evening. The exciting competition started at 140 cm and the obstacles where raised all the way up to 185 cm. Three horse-rider pairs remained without knocking anything down: Martin Fuchs on Commissar Pezi, Helsinki first timer Deirdre Reilly with Kafka vd Heffinck, and My Relander on Ipsylon.
