The Young Horses were back in the arenas today here at the II Andalucía October Tour with around 100 horses taking part in the three age classes .
The 7yr old class was held in the Milton arena; the top two on the podium repeated last Wednesday’s results, with the winner of the class, Swedish rider, Erika Lickhammer-Ven Helmond. She was riding the mare ‘Koberlina TN’ (‘Eldorado Van de Zeshoek’ x ‘Verdi’) who is owned by Whitney Sorenson, and stopped the clock in the second phase in 22.84s. Once again Irish rider, Niamh Mcevoy repeated last week’s second place with ’BP Limitless’ ( ‘Elvis Ter Putte’ x ‘Laughton’s Flight’), owned by Breen Equestrian Ltd, stopping the clock in the second phase in a time of 23.54s. In third place was Columbian rider, Santiago Diaz Ortega with ‘Kalahari’ by ‘Kannan’ in 23.73s, this mare is owned by Future Stars Sporthorses Management. Cora Sharkey from Ireland with ‘AHG Whiterock Duggie’ was fourth with Portugal’s Rodrigo Giestiera Almeida, Sunday’s GP winner, coming fifth with ‘Karonia L’. In all there were 38 clear rounds in the class.
The 5 and 6yr olds started off their week with FnoT classes and had the opportunity to jump on grass in the Hickstead arena. There were 21 horses in the 5yr olds and 12 jumped clear. There were 36 in the 6yr olds with 22 clears. Tomorrow the 5 and 6yr olds will jump in 2Ph Sp classes and the 7yr olds will have a (FT) speed class.
