The third and last week of competition at Autumn MET II 2025 in Oliva Nova, Spain, concluded with a Brazilian one-two in Sunday\u2019s CSI3* 1.50m CHG \u2013 Construcciones Hispano Germanas S.A \u2013 Grand Prix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMe and Stephan, we are like brothers \u2013 but we always try to beat each other in the ring. He knew how important this win was for me and I could see he was happy for me,\u201d Brazil\u2019s Jo\u00e3o Victor Castro Aguiar Gomes De Lima said after he and the 11-year-old gelding Kenzo Quality Z (Kannan x Con Air) clocked the winning time of 44.89 seconds to beat his compatriot Stephan de Freitas Barcha with Dinozo Imperio Egipcio (Diamant de Semilly x Urbain du Monnai). With a time of 45.07, de Freitas Barcha placed second, while the host nation\u2019s Mariano Martinez Bastida aboard Classic Dakota (Casallco x Check In 2) finished third after crossing the timers in 45.87 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine horse-and-rider combinations from the 53 at start cleared the first-round track set by Christian Wiegand (GER) and joined the deciding jump-off, where the winner made the most of his horse\u2019s huge canter. \u201cI knew that it was going to be a very fast jump-off, especially when I had Stephan right after me,\u201d Castro Aguiar Gomes De Lima explained. \u201cWhen I saw the course, I saw there were some long gallops that would help my horse, because he has a very big stride, and I tried to benefit from it. My plan was to leave strides out a bit everywhere, and it worked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith Kenzo, I did the Nations Cups in St Gallen and in Falsterbo, and we were also on the Brazilian team at the Stephex Masters,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think we are getting better and better all the time. He’s a lovely horse, with a good mentality. He tries hard, and always gives his best. Today, I was very happy with his performance.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top five was completed by France\u2019s Marie Demonte and Epona du Quesnoy (Ogrion des Champs x Nabab de Reve) in fourth in 46.43 ahead of Great Britain\u2019s Jonathon Buxton and Strides Josie (Don VHP Z x Quattro 7) in fifth in 50.59.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winner was happy with his triumphant return to Centro Ecuestre Oliva Nova. \u201cI haven’t been to Oliva since 2022, and now I’m back again,\u201d he said. \u201cIt’s a lovely place, very clean, everything is super organized and the classes are competitive. We are able to go to the beach with the horses during the week, which makes them happy and keeps them fresh. I think that’s very important. I don\u2019t think the venue could be better!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The action at Centro Ecuestre Oliva Nova resumes on November 25th when the third and last part of Autumn MET 2025 kicks off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
