After having the day off on Saturday, where he gave the chance of jumping the small Grand Prix to our 7-year old Lady Mc Beth (who jumped really good, with only one fault), he seemed ready on Sunday.
Va-Vite did it nice and clear in the first round of the Grand Prix. Only 7 horses stayed clear. With the system of 25% riders in the second round, also the fastest horses with 4 points could ride in the second round.
Patrik knew, as he had to start in the end, that staying clear in the second round would be important. At the time he had to go in, to jump the second round, only Gerco Schroder was double clear. Patrik didn't take all the risks, and he might have been to careful riding to the last fence. The distance was a little too close, and he had bad luck, one down. He would have been 3th, but now on the 7th place. Only Wout-Jan Van der Schans, did better then Gerco, with Eurocommerce Sacramento. The success for the Eurocommerce team was complete with the first and second place.
We are really happy with the way Va-Vite is jumping, and we are looking forward to go with him to Falsterbo, from 7 till 10th of July.
We are also looking forward to go next week to Fontainebleau. For sure Euphony Cadjanine Z and Wrangler will jump next week over there. We have to choose who to take as our third horse. It might be Uletta DH or Va-Vite.
