The Dutch rider has won two Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Qualifiers in as many weeks, this time in a seven-horse jump-off.

The German rider piloted the magnificent United Touch S to seal the deal in the Longines FEI Jumping European Championship.

Portugal will be first to go in Round 1 as 89 entries from 23 nations compete; several horses are owned by Canadian interests.

The German rider piloted Coby 8 to the win in Spain; Canadian Kara Chad was among the impressive international field of 40 entries.

The British rider bested a large field of 40 starters aboard a relatively green mount as more experienced pairs had plenty of surprise rails.
