Marc Houtzager (NED) and his 17-year-old Sterrehof\u2019s Dante (Canturano x Phin-Phin) took the top honours in Sunday\u2019s CSI3* Grand Prix after clocking the winning time of 36.94 seconds in a jump-off between ten horse-and-rider combinations.\u00a0
\u00a0
Simon Buckley (GBR) and Millfield Hickson (Hickstead White x Quinar) took the runner-up spot with a time of 40.45 seconds, while Alica Janout (AUT) and Esprit d\u2019Intro Z (Elvis Ter Putte x Erco van\u2019T Roosakker) placed third in 44.85.

\u201cShe’s in good shape after Amsterdam,\u201d Houtzager said about Dante, who won the\u00a0Longines FEI Jumping World Cup\u2122 of Amsterdam in January.\u00a0\u201cThe jump-off was nice. I was the first to go, so I didn’t take the last risk but then in the end it was enough.\u00a0After three weeks here, a win like this is of course super.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOliva Nova is a fantastic venue,\u201d Houtzager said about Centro Ecuestre Oliva Nova. \u201cThe timetable was changed today due to the weather forecast, but in the end, we were lucky with the weather. However, it was a good thing to change the schedule and I appreciate the effort from the organizers to make sure everything runs well. The facilities are great, and if I would have to pick only one word for the Mediterranean Equestrian Tour it would be \u2018fantastic\u2019.\u201d
 
Spring MET continues with the third part of the tour, which kicks off on March 11th<\/sup> \u2013 followed by Spring MET IV in April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
