The jump & drive that took place in the afternoon was a real treat for the fans and was a trial that involved 8 teams (made up of one rider and one driver). The first to perform were the riders that took on a course made up of 8 obstacles. Once the last obstacle had been overcome, the rider got off the horse and passed it over to the groom, before rushing over to the driver who began the second course.Victory went to the team that completed both courses in the quickest time possible, with penalties for every obstacle knocked down of 4 seconds.
The quickest team was that made up of German rider Christian Kukuk on Synderella and driver Christoph Sandmann. Ukraine’s Cassio Rivetti with Cartoon 2 and Hungary’s Jòzsef Dobrovitz came second.
