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 highlight of the weekend at the CDI Lier in the Azelhof is of course the CDI3* Grand Prix Freestyle. Just before the start of this class, the Grand Prix Freestyle for the U25 took place. No Belgian riders took part in this class.

Once again it was a Swedish victory, just as in the Inter I Freestyle. That time it was the stablemate of this winner in the Small Tour. 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.

The penultimate day of CDI Lier at Azelhof was taken up with the CDI3* Small Tour. The ‘Lydia Dehertoghe Prize’ was the Intermediaire I. Fourteen combinations, who had also competed in the Prix St. Georges earlier, were once again at work. Other combinations will ride the Intermediaire I Freestyle.

The Azelhof in Lier suits the German riders well as today too saw a German victory. It was Jennifer Reimer who with the 10-year-old stallion Daiquiri Royal (by Dancier) rode to victory. The judges awarded their test with a total score of 69.658%. The Spanish Chloe Morris followed in second place with the Lord Loxley-son, Lord Wallonia. They had a total score of 68.053%.

The first day of CDI Lier closed with the CDI3* Small Tour. There were no fewer than 29 starters in the Prix St Georges and it got rather late.  This ‘Fam. Siegward and S. Tesch Prize’ finally finished around 22h30.

It was the Swedish Marina Mattsson who kept the victory of this last class too out of Belgian hands. Riding the chestnut Quartermain (by Quarterback) she was very quickly leading the class with a total score of 72.053%. She held on to this position until the end.

Jorinde Verwimp, who performed well in Ghent last weekend, competed Arie Sollenburg for the fist time in the Small Tour at international level. We can immediately say that it was a good debut.  She received a total score of 70.237%  from the judge for her test on the black Olivi offspring, resulting in a second place for the combination. The German Andrea Timpe completed the top three with For The Memory (by Florencio I). This combination was awarded a total score of 70.211%.

Isabel Cool finished in fourth place with the ten-year-old Coolhorses Constand (by Vic), just ahead of the Dutch combination Ilse Van Cranenbroek with Emerald S. They were awarded scores of 70.000% and 69.947% respectively.
