The winner of the horse show

At just 21, Bertram Allen was the ‘Shooting Star’ in the world-class league of showjumpers, and still leads in all the major events. In 2014, he won the World Cup stage in Verona, and again in 2015 in Bordeaux. He came third in the World Cup final 2015 in Las Vegas, and he has now also won the GEZE GmbH Prize. Sandra Daniela Alber, Managing Director of GEZE GmbH, congratulated the winner, and presented him with a precious horse blanket in GEZE colours and a gold coin.

Second place went to the Colombian Carlos Enrique Lopez Lizarazo on his nine-year-old mare Cuplandra who completed the final course without penalties in 41.01 seconds. In third place was to Philip Rüping with the nine-year-old mare Clinta. Horse and rider also completed the circuit without penalties in 41.12 seconds. A total of 47 horses and riders were at the start line for the GEZE showjumping competition in the challenging category 5 (CSI 5*).
