On Sunday afternoon, the CSI2* 1.45m Grand Prix presented by Dammann Reitplatz- u. Sportplatzbau GmbH concluded the first week of Spring MET III 2026 at Centro Ecuestre Oliva Nova in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of 54 horse-and-rider combinations lined up for the challenge set by Elena Boix (ESP), with twelve pairs clearing their way into the jump-off. In the end, it was the Dutch rider Dennis van den Brink and the 9-year-old mare La Rouge JT (Ducati van Schuttershof x Kannan) that took the top honours after stopping the clock on 35.97 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe course was very nice because there were some options in quite a few lines, and I added a few strides,\u201d the happy winner analysed afterwards. \u201cThen in the jump-off my plan was to aim to be in the top three, because my horse already did an amazing job by winning the ranking class on Friday. We ended up winning again today, it was an unbelievably nice surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe bought her as a five-year-old in an online auction,\u201d Dennis shared about his winning mount La Rouge JT. \u201cAll her life, she’s been a clear round machine, and this today was her first two-star Grand Prix \u2013 and she immediately won it. That’s really cool. For this summer, we’ll see where things go, how she feels and how she takes on the bigger jumps. I don’t think we have to worry about the future with this one!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have come here already for eight years and always in March,\u201d Dennis said about the venue in Oliva. \u201cIt’s great for the horses, especially also for the young ones. The outdoor season has not yet started at home, so this is a nice way to get ahead and see where you’re at. And the beach, of course, is very nice for the horses in between the classes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sweden\u2019s Andrea Persson and F. Las Vegas (Carembar de Muze x Cardento) placed second with a time of 36.01, followed by Bart Jay Junior Vandecasteele (BEL) on Lotti Blue Z (Le Blue Diamond van\u2019T Ruytershof x Wandor van de Mispelaere) in third in 36.44, Marco Antonio Peixoto Ferreira Filho (COL) with Everest V\u2019t Hof V Eversem Z (Epleaser van\u2019T Heike x Concreto) in fourth in 37.35 and Kasper H. Hansen (DEN) aboard Katrinelund Satisfaction (Sandro\u2019s Adel x Crelido) in fifth in 37.76.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spring MET III continues next week and runs until March 29th<\/sup>, followed by Spring MET IV in April.
