We’ve got a monster (in terms of fence dimensions, at least) edition of Who Jumped It Best? coming in hot from the FEI Longines European Eventing Championships, situated in Switzerland at one of the most gorgeous venues we’ve laid eyes on.
Fence 26 and 27 on course acted as a single question with a double numbered long route. The question featured a solid corner over a yawning ditch that would be enough to frighten the pants off even the best riders. The question came after riders traveled through a water combination, turning back on themselves over a table, followed by a single fence that would lead them right into this question. Despite its size, as with most “rider frightener” fences, no combinations incurred penalties here. The majority of riders elected to do the direct line here.
Take a look at our selection of pairs and vote in the poll at the bottom of this post for the horse and rider who present the most harmonious overall picture. Good luck and Go Eventing!
