FEI Sires of the World dominated by Belgium. Double victory for Italy’s Zuvadelli in the consolation trials.

There was a double reason for Italy to celebrate today at the FEI World Breeding Jumping Championships for Young Horses after Italian rider Paolo Adamo Zuvadelli took victory in both of the 7 year-old horse consolation trials on Eh Bombay (Balou du Rouet) and Holstenier Eh Quick Nina (Quidams Rubin) at Lanaken. There was also a very respectable sixth place finish for Dario Scalzo with Selena (Burggraaf).
