Our barely 7-year-old stallion Sambucci de Muze continues to impress. In Lanaken, he jumped into the final in his age category for the third year in a row, this time in the 7-year-olds’ class. The chestnut Scendro son ultimately finished the championship with four penalties after an unlucky rail at the very last fence. Secret Touch JW van 't Meulenhof (s. Denzel van 't Meulenhof) also impressed in the final for 7-year-old horses. Under Odile Gierech, the mare jumped to ninth place. Soria Orange (s. Bamako de Muze) also made it into the final with Andres Vereecke. The consolation class was won by Ellen Zwijnenberg on N-Special de Fony-Bo (s. I'm Special de Muze).

In the consolation class for 6-year-olds, Mateusz Tyszko placed his Barry Von Hary Z (s. Bamako de Muze) in sixth place.

In the 5-year-olds’ category, Undercover van 't Paradijs (s. Scendro, Astrid Rooms) and O'Tamarindo (s. Kasanova de la Pomme, Guido Franchi) reached the final. In the consolation round, Guido Franchi took second place riding Bijou van 't Klavertje Vier (s. By Cera d'Ick).
