Patrik Spits & Va-Vite, winner of the Grand Prix CSI** Bonheiden !
Finally, victory for Va-Vite in an international Grand Prix. It happened yesterday, at CSI** Bonheiden.We knew already a time that Va-Vite is feeling good. He won already the national Grand Prix at our "CSN Groentenjumping", he was 10th in the Small Grand Prix CSI**** Lummen, and now he managed to win the international 1.45m Grand Prix of Bonheiden.
Only 6 horses in the Jump off, Patrik had to go in 2nd. He could beat the time of the Irish rider Ivan Dalton, and nobody did better afterwoods. Patrik and Va-Vite won the class, Ivan Dalton 2nd, and Belgium again on place 3 and 4 with Christophe Vanderhasselt and Thomas Leemans.
We don't have a lot of time to celebrate this victory. Next weekend we are looking for to go to France, for the international jumping of 4 stars in Bourg-en-Bresse.
It's possible that Va-Vite stays home to please some mares and breeders.. For sure Euphony Cadjanine Z and Wrangler will jump in Bourg-en-Bresse.
We really like to go to France. Even our horses like being there. Our nephew Jeroen De Winter had also a nice and succesful weekend in Reims. After the 3th place in the Nations Cup, he was clear in the first round of the Childrens Grand Prix with Uletta. He tried to go for the time in the second round, but a little too fast, and 2 faults, but still a nice 7th place. In the other class for the Children on Sunday, Jeroen and Mozart were 2nd.
