Patrik and Withney; a nice thirth place in the GP CSI*** Drachten!!!

Last Monday there was no contest on the agenda for Patrik. Now, a few days later, he returns home satisfied from Drachten.
And again it is Withney who provides the excellence. Two times she came at the start. On Friday night there was still 1 fault in the jump-off of the 1.50 m FEI rankink-course. That was still good for a 7th place.
Today it ran totally fine for Patrik and Withney in the GP. In extremis he could start in this GP, because of unsubscribes. Patrik was one of the 14 combinations that cleared the basic circulation.
He rode smoothly in the beginning of his barrage, but didn’t want to take too many risks, to stay clear.
He did as planned and remained for a long time on a second place with a chrono of 33.61 sec, after the Dutchman Robert Vos, who finished in 33.38 sec.
As the last starter came Amy Graham still in the ring for Australia. She cleared the jump-off in 33.31, and wins this GP.
