The Young Horses were back in the arenas today here at the II Andalucía October Tour with around 150 horses across the three age classes .
The 7yr old class was held in the grass arena, HIckstead and the winner of the class was the Swedish rider, Erika Lickhammer-Ven Helmond. She was riding the mare ‘Koberlina TN’ (‘Eldorado Van de Zeshoek’ x ‘Verdi’) and stopped the clock in the second phase in 24.41s. This was a close run class with some very talented 7yr olds taking part, and very close on Erika’s heels was the fast Irish rider who has already been very succsessful here at the Tour, Niamh Mcevoy who was riding ‘BP Limitless’ ( ‘Elvis Ter Putte’ x ‘Laughton’s Flight’) who is owned by Breen Equestrian Ltd. Just coming in third was the Spanish rider, Armando Trapote with ‘Diabla PS’ (‘Chacco Lover’ x ‘Toulon’). In all there were 35 clear rounds in the class.
