\u00a0
The first week of competition during the second part of Spring MET 2025 in Oliva Nova concluded on Sunday with the CSI2* Grand Prix, where fifteen horse-and-rider combinations from the 57 at start cleared the first-round track set by\u00a0Elio Travagliati (ITA)\u00a0and joined the deciding jump-off.\u00a0
\u00a0
With a time of 37.31 seconds in the jump-off, Rinaldi snatched the win from Marlon Modolo Zanotelli (BRA) and Rockwell RC (Kannan x Quidam) who had to settle for the runner-up spot after stopping the clock on 37.86. Mathieu Guery (BEL) \u2013 who had a great week in Oliva Nova, taking four wins \u2013 and Falko Ste Hermelle (Vigo d\u2019Arsouilles x Andiamo) completed the podium in third after clocking a time of 37.94, followed by Marine Scauflaire (BEL) and Cuba Libre de Nevada Z (Charlekijn van T&L x Thunder vd Zuuthoeve) in fourth in 40.00 and J\u00f6rg Naeve (GER) aboard Benur du Romet (Balou du Rouet x Damour) in fifth in 40.22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0My horse Sir \u2013 as we call him in the stable \u2013 was totally on it today,\u201d Rinaldi said afterwards. \u201cI could feel that he was itching for a win all week. All I had to do was let him have it, he knows exactly what he needs to do. I had a really good feeling the whole week with him, he is feeling at his best at the moment.\u201d
 
\u201cI thought the jump-off suited me perfectly,\u201d she continued. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t have the biggest stride in the world, so I use his natural speed to my advantage. I don\u2019t usually worry too much about the numbers with him, it is more about keeping it smooth and letting him go. I want to thank the whole team at Ashford Farm, especially Enda Carroll and Michael Cristofoletti for always giving me guidance and support, and to his groom Leah Copperwheat and everybody else involved for a cool and special day \u2013 our first Grand Prix win in Oliva.\u201d 
 
\u201cI really enjoy this show, it is one of my favourites to come to,\u201d Rinaldi said about the venue in Oliva Nova. \u201cEverything is so well done; the main ring is incredible as well as all the other arenas. We enjoy coming here, it is a good build-up towards the summer.\u201d
 
Spring MET II continues next week and runs until March 3rd<\/sup>, followed by MET III in March and MET IV in April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
