Adelinde Cornelissen won the Grand Prix Special in Lier. Earlier this week she also finished ahead of Jorinde Verwimp, with Aqiedo. Now she also pushed Laurence Roos aside. The Belgian finished in an excellent second place with Fil Rouge. The most remarkable result of the day for Belgium was in the Juniors. The entire podium was occupied by our fellow countrywomen with a victory for Laura Luyten (Dark Chocolate), a second place for Emily Anthonissen (Fair Diamond DHB) and a third place for Suraya Hendrikx (Dear Friend 2).

  

 

Earlier in the week she was just beaten by Adelinde Cornelissen, but on Saturday evening, in the Grand Prix Freestyle, the Belgian rider climbed right to the top. Riding Tiamo she scored a very convincing 78.2% thereby, in the Azelhof, improving her own personal record. Adelinde Cornelissen did not compete in this class so the German Andrea Timpe was second with almost six percentage points less.

In the Intermediaire Isabel Cool (Constand) was second and Katrien Verreet (Bailamos Biolley) was fourth.

The last day of CDI Lier was taken up with the Kür to music for ponies. We watched 16 combinations at work. Once again there was a battle for gold between Gemma Owen and Sophia Ritzinger. Our compatriots also did well.

The victory was eventually for the British rider Gemma Owen. Together with the ten-year-old Der Kleine Lord (by Der Feine Lord) the rider scored a total of 75.167%. This made it her second victory this weekend. The German Sophia Ritzinger, who won the Individual test yesterday, finished now in second place with the chestnut Den Ostriks Dailan (by Leuns Veld’s Lord). They scored 73.917%. The Dutch rider Micky Schelstraete was third with the grey stallion Elin’s Noncisdador (by Nostradamus) This combination scored 73.208% in total.

Also in the top five were Maud Adriaensen with N-Constantino vd Bolkerhoeve and Thessa Gilbers with Baumann’s Despino (by Fs Don’t Worry). They received 71.292% and 71.083% respectively from the judges.

Mathilde Hannell rode to a total score of 73.875% with the Niro-daughter Deela Mae. They scored one percentage point more than the number two. Florine Kienbaum finished in second place with the black gelding Doktor Shiwago 3 (by Don Frederico). They had a total score of 72.083%. The Swedish rider Emma Jonsson was third with the KWPN Tango (by Obelisk). This combination received a total 71.875% from the judges.

Also in the top five were Petra Middelberg with Barclay 20 (by Bellissimo M) and Jill Huybregts with Zamacho Z (by Rousseau). They scored 71.417% and 70.333% respectively.

Once again it was a Swedish victory in this CDI3* Small Tour. Marina Mattson rode to victory, just as in the Prix St. Georges, with Quartermain (by Qarterback), who is just eight years old.
