The second week of the Autumn MET II 2022 in Oliva Nova, Spain, ended in glorious sunshine and with a French victory in the CSI3* 1.50m Grand Prix presented by CHG \u2013 Construcciones Hispano Germanas S.A\u00a0\u2013\u00a0with Alexa Ferrer (FRA) and the 11-year-old mare Arka de La Hart Z (Arko III x Kashmir van Schuttershof) taking the top honours.<\/p>\n

Eleven horse-and-rider-combinations out of a starter field of 55 pairs cleared the first-round track set by Spanish course designer Javier Trenor\u00a0in the vast Oliva Nova arena.\u00a0Counting 13 obstacles and 16 efforts with a time allowed set to 77 seconds, the 1.50m course was demanding, with many running into trouble at the triple combination at fence number ten. \u201cThe course in this Grand Prix was difficult, but sensible \u2013 and the time allowed was tight,\u201d Ferrer said after her victory. \u201cThe hardest part of the first round was the line with the triple combination.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the third pair out in the deciding jump-off over a shortened track, Ferrer and Arka de La Hart Z raced around with ease, stopping the clock on 31.54 \u2013 a time that proved to be unbeatable. \u201cMy plan was simple: To go as fast as possible,\u201d the happy winner said about her tactics ahead of the jump-off.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy horse is such a special mare,\u201d Ferrer said about Arka de La Hart Z. \u201cI enjoy riding her so much. She has so much quality, and has jumped so many clear rounds.\u201d

As the youngest rider in the jump-off, Great Britain\u2019s 20-year-old Sienna Charles \u2013 the daughter of London 2012 Olympic team gold medallist Peter Charles \u2013 and Stardust (Chacco-Blue x Con Air 7) took the runner-up position with a beautiful round in 33.62 seconds. Germany\u2019s Alexander M\u00fcller and the 10-year-old Ohlala 13 (Cracker Jack D x Balou du Rouet) placed third, while the fourth place went to his compatriot Christian Hess and the 11-year-old Quality Time 7 (Quadros 3 x Carpaccio). As the fastest four-faulter in the jump-off, Belgium\u2019s 21-year-old talent Thibault Philippaerts and Derby de Riverland (Kannan x L\u2019Arc de Triomphe) took the fifth place.<\/p>\n
