Press release - FONTAINEBLEAU - PRINTEMPS DES SPORTS ÉQUESTRES
First place for Evelyn Eger in the Grand Prix Spécial Devoucoux of the CDI3* competition.
At the start of the day, Germany's Evelyn Eger won the Grand Prix Spécial of the CDI3* event sponsored by Devoucoux. Riding Global Power OLD, she performed the only routine to score over 70% in this class, achieving 70.340%. "I am so lucky to have such a great horse, I am absolutely thrilled. Especially as this was the first time we have competed in a CDI3* event together, and only his second Grand Prix and first Grand Prix Spécial class. So, I'm more than happy, in fact. When we get home, he'll be taking a few days off, with plenty of paddock time. Then, we'll get back to training and look for another competition to keep him sharp. I really enjoyed the Printemps des Sports Équestres here in Fontainebleau. I wasn't expecting such an amazing competition! So, I hope I'll be able to come back! I particularly liked the arena, it was like a mini Paris 2024 and it was a real honour to compete here," said the German ride as she left the arena.

We feel really supported by everyone, the staff, the public and the riders. It's really cool!" said the delighted Dutch rider after the prize-giving ceremony.
